Why create-api-docs needs a policy

This tool creates documentation artifacts from existing code annotations. Documentation is readily reversible (can be regenerated or deleted) and carries no destructive or financial impact. The scope is limited to output generation with no side effects on running systems, data integrity, or external operations.

From the tool's definition The tool 'generates' API documentation from code annotations. Generating documentation creates new artifacts that can be modified or discarded.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create-api-docs gives an agent:

How to control create-api-docs

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and VibeCoding System, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create-api-docs:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create-api-docs": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create-api-docs_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create-api-docs 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.

  1. Create a free account and register VibeCoding System — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
