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

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

## Why configure_render is rated Medium

This tool modifies Blender's render configuration state (settings, engine selection) which is reversible and has no destructive or financial impact. It does not execute rendering (Execute) nor delete data (Destructive). The blast radius is medium because misconfigured render settings could affect downstream rendering workflows, but the changes are easily corrected.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name: 'configure_render'; description states it 'Configure render settings without rendering', explicitly modifying render engine and associated parameters (CYCLES, BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT) without executing a render operation."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

## 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`
