WHAT IT DOES

What create_view does on Revit MCP Server

AI agents use create_view 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.

RISK

Why create_view is rated Medium

Creating a view in Revit is a reversible modification that produces a new design artifact (project view). This is a Write operation rather than Execute because it creates a specific Revit object type rather than executing arbitrary code. Severity is medium because view creation can clutter the project but views can be deleted/undone without data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_view' indicates creation of a new view object in Revit. Context: tool appears in a Revit MCP server focused on 'building design, editing, analysis' and sibling tools include 'create_detail_line', 'create_dimensions', 'create_duct',…

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_view safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Revit MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_view, this is the rule to start with:

create_view Rate-limited

create_view 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_view": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_view_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Revit MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_view call is checked against it from then on.
