What generate-prd does on VibeCoding System

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

Medium Risk

Why generate-prd needs a policy

This tool creates a new PRD (Product Requirements Document) artifact and writes it to the project filesystem. This is a reversible data modification operation (files can be edited or deleted later), which aligns with the Write category. The severity is medium because modifying project documentation could mislead development efforts, but the impact is bounded to the project context and reversible. The confidence is 0.

From the tool's definition The tool description states 'save it to the project structure', indicating persistent creation or modification of files and project configuration.

How to control generate-prd

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 generate-prd:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate-prd": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate-prd_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate-prd 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.
