What restoreSnapshot does on Spline MCP Server
AI agents use restoreSnapshot 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.
Why restoreSnapshot is rated Medium
Restoring a snapshot modifies the current design state by reverting to a previous version, which is a write operation. It's not destructive because the original snapshot remains and the action is reversible (another snapshot can be created). However, without explicit description, confidence is moderate.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'restoreSnapshot' indicates reverting to a previously saved state. Context from sibling tools (addCamera, addDirectionalLight, addMaterialLayer, etc.) shows this is a 3D design tool. Description is empty, reducing confidence.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs restoreSnapshot 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 restoreSnapshot, this is the rule to start with:
restoreSnapshot 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Spline MCP Server, apply this rule, and every restoreSnapshot call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about restoreSnapshot
restoreSnapshot is a write tool on the Spline MCP Server MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Spline MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Spline MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for restoreSnapshot: 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 Spline MCP Server. Nothing to install.
restoreSnapshot is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the restoreSnapshot 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 restoreSnapshot. 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.
restoreSnapshot 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.
