What clear_animation does on Blender Copilot MCP Server
AI agents call clear_animation to permanently remove resources in Blender Copilot MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why clear_animation is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes animation data from a Blender object, which is a destructive operation. Although Blender's undo system may allow recovery within a session, the tool's function is fundamentally destructive (deletion/removal of data). An AI agent misusing this could destroy hours of animation work on a scene.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Remove all animation data from an object' — this irreversibly deletes animation keyframes and data that cannot be automatically recovered without undo.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs clear_animation safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Blender Copilot MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For clear_animation, this is the rule to start with:
clear_animation is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Blender Copilot MCP Server, apply this rule, and every clear_animation call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about clear_animation
Remove all animation data from an object. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Blender Copilot MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Blender Copilot MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_animation: 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 Blender Copilot MCP Server. Nothing to install.
clear_animation is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clear_animation 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 clear_animation. 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.
clear_animation is provided by the Blender Copilot MCP Server MCP server (dwgx/blender-copilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
