nuxt-scaffold · Vite Plugin MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What nuxt-scaffold does on Vite Plugin

AI agents use nuxt-scaffold to create or update resources in Vite Plugin — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Vite Plugin environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why nuxt-scaffold needs a policy

Scaffolding creates new files in the project directory. This is a Write operation as it creates new files/resources. It is reversible (files can be deleted), so it does not qualify as Destructive. Severity is medium because an AI agent could create unwanted files across the project structure, potentially introducing code in sensitive locations like middleware.

Verdict

nuxt-scaffold Rate-limited

nuxt-scaffold stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
