What getMaterials does on Spline MCP Server
AI agents call getMaterials to retrieve information from Spline MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why getMaterials is rated Low
This tool retrieves material information from Spline designs without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The 'get' prefix is a standard indicator of read-only data retrieval. Even in a 3D design context, querying materials poses minimal risk compared to tools that create, apply, or delete design elements.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getMaterials' indicates retrieval of material data. The description is empty, but naming convention and context of sibling tools (which perform modifications like 'add' operations) strongly suggest this is a query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getMaterials safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Spline MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getMaterials, this is the rule to start with:
getMaterials 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 Spline MCP Server, apply this rule, and every getMaterials call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the getMaterials 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 getMaterials. 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.
getMaterials is provided by the Spline MCP Server MCP server (aydinfer/spline-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
