What optimize_scene does on Blender Copilot MCP Server
AI agents call optimize_scene 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 optimize_scene is rated Critical
The tool removes orphan data (meshes, materials, images) from the scene, which is an irreversible deletion operation. Once orphaned data is purged, it cannot be recovered without an external backup. This qualifies as Destructive with high severity given it operates on the entire scene and can remove significant asset data.
From the tool's definition 'remove orphan meshes/materials/images' — permanently removes data from the scene
Risk signalsBulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

The rule that runs optimize_scene 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 optimize_scene, this is the rule to start with:
optimize_scene 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 optimize_scene call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about optimize_scene
Optimize the entire scene: remove orphan meshes/materials/images,. 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 optimize_scene: 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.
optimize_scene 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 optimize_scene 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 optimize_scene. 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.
optimize_scene 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.
