What rhino.export_model does on CoWork OS
AI agents use rhino.export_model to create or update resources in CoWork OS, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CoWork OS environment.
Why rhino.export_model is rated Medium
Export operations create new files or artifacts (writes reversibly to storage). While the files created could be large or numerous, this is not destructive (no deletion/overwrite of existing data) nor execute (no code execution or command invocation). The operation is reversible—exported files can be deleted.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'export_model' with description 'Export model for Blender or delivery', indicating it creates or writes model files to disk or external systems for downstream use.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rhino.export_model safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CoWork OS, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For rhino.export_model, this is the rule to start with:
rhino.export_model 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 CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every rhino.export_model call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rhino.export_model
Export model for Blender or delivery. It is categorised as a Write tool in the CoWork OS MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the CoWork OS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rhino.export_model: 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 CoWork OS. Nothing to install.
rhino.export_model 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 rhino.export_model 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 rhino.export_model. 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.
rhino.export_model is provided by the CoWork OS MCP server (CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
