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

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

## Why render_set_camera is rated Medium

This tool modifies a reversible configuration setting (which camera is active for rendering) without deleting data or executing arbitrary code. While it affects scene output, the change can be undone by setting a different camera. The blast radius is moderate—an AI agent setting an unexpected camera could produce incorrect renders or obscure intended visual output, but this is correctable.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'render_set_camera' and description 'Set the active render camera' indicate modification of render settings by selecting/changing the camera used for rendering."

## Use case

AI agents use render_set_camera 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)

## 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`
