## Facts

- Tool: `instantiateComponent`
- Server: Spline MCP Server (`aydinfer/spline-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/aydinfer-spline-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/aydinfer/spline-mcp-server
- Risk category: Write (Medium risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "instantiateComponent",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why instantiateComponent is rated Medium

Instantiating a component creates a new object or instance in the design scene, which is a reversible Write operation. It modifies the scene state by adding content but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial impact. Severity is medium because misuse could create unwanted design elements requiring manual cleanup, but the impact is localized to the design project and easily undone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'instantiateComponent' suggests creating/instantiating a new component instance in Spline 3D design environment."

## Use case

AI agents use instantiateComponent to create or update resources in Spline MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Spline MCP Server environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Spline MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "instantiateComponent": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "instantiatecomponent_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
