Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_hierarchy 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 get_hierarchy, this is the rule to start with:
get_hierarchy is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Blender Copilot MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get_hierarchy call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_hierarchy
Get the parent-child hierarchy tree. If name is given, returns that object's subtree. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Blender Copilot MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Blender Copilot MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_hierarchy: 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.
get_hierarchy is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_hierarchy 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 get_hierarchy. 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.
