## Facts

- Tool: `updateComponentInstance`
- 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
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why updateComponentInstance is rated Medium

The tool performs a reversible modification operation ('update') on component instances within a Spline 3D scene. While the description is empty, the naming pattern and sibling tools (which create and modify scene elements) strongly suggest this creates or modifies design data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'updateComponentInstance' combined with server context enabling operations on 3D design elements; 'update' indicates modification of existing data (component instances in Spline)."

## Use case

AI agents use updateComponentInstance 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": {
    "updateComponentInstance": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "updatecomponentinstance_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`
