## Facts

- Tool: `updateMaterial`
- 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": "updateMaterial",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why updateMaterial is rated Medium

updateMaterial modifies existing material properties in a 3D design file. This is a reversible write operation—materials can be changed back or undone. It affects design state but not the overall file structure irreversibly, and carries medium severity due to potential loss of previous material configurations if misapplied.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'updateMaterial' indicates modification of material properties in Spline 3D design. Description is empty, but contextual pattern from sibling tools (addCamera, addMaterialLayer, etc.) and the server's purpose of enabling design operations through…"

## Use case

AI agents use updateMaterial 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": {
    "updateMaterial": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "updatematerial_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`
