What search_packs does on 3dassets
AI agents call search_packs to retrieve information from 3dassets without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
q | string | — | Alias for query, as spelled by the REST API |
query | string | — | Free-text search over pack titles and summaries |
style | string | — | Style tag slug, e.g. low-poly, realistic, voxel |
theme | string | — | Theme tag slug, e.g. sci-fi, fantasy, modern |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why search_packs is rated Low
Even though search_packs only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

The rule that runs search_packs safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 3dassets, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_packs, this is the rule to start with:
search_packs is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 3dassets, apply this rule, and every search_packs call is checked against it from then on.

Find cohesive free GLB game kits by text, theme or style. Returns file counts, total bytes and starter scene URLs. Use get_pack for every individual model and loader snippet. It is categorised as a Read tool in the 3dassets MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
search_packs accepts 4 parameters: q, query, style, theme. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the 3dassets MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_packs: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches 3dassets. Nothing to install.
search_packs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_packs rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_packs. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
search_packs is provided by the 3dassets MCP server (3dassets-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
