MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Revit MCP tools

Destructive · High delete_element This tool permanently deletes elements from a Revit project model. Destructive · High operate_element Although operate_element supports multiple action types including reversible ones (select, setColor, setTransparency, hide), the inclusion of 'delete' as a capability elevates this to Destructive category. Execute · Critical send_code_to_revit This tool executes arbitrary C# code inside Revit with full access to the Revit Document. Execute · Low say_hello This tool triggers an external operation in Revit (displaying a dialog box), which counts as Execute since it performs an action in an external application.

16 of Revit MCP's 25 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Revit MCP

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Revit MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete_element": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "color_elements": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "color_elements_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "ai_element_filter": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "ai_element_filter_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Revit MCP

Can an AI agent delete data through the Revit MCP server? +

Yes. The Revit MCP server exposes 2 destructive tools including delete_element, operate_element. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Revit MCP? +

The Revit MCP server has 12 write tools including color_elements, store_project_data, store_room_data. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Revit MCP.

How many tools does the Revit MCP server expose? +

25 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 9 are read-only. 16 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Revit MCP? +

Register the Revit MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Revit MCP tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 25 Revit MCP tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
