## Facts

- Tool: `color_splash`
- Server: Revit MCP Server (`demolinator/revit-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Demolinator/revit-mcp-server
- Risk category: Write (Medium risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no

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

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

## Why color_splash is rated Medium

The name 'color_splash' implies applying color to Revit elements, which modifies model state. This is a Write operation (reversible modification) rather than Read (no changes) or Destructive (permanent deletion). Confidence is moderate due to missing description; if this tool modified geometry irreversibly or deleted elements, it would be Destructive instead.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'color_splash' suggests modifying visual properties (colors) of Revit model elements. Empty description limits certainty. Sibling tools like 'clear_colors' and 'create_*' indicate this server handles model modification."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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