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

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

## Why set_animation_range is rated Medium

This tool modifies animation metadata (frame range and FPS settings) within a Blender project. These changes are reversible and do not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or trigger financial transactions. The impact is localized to animation configuration.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Set the animation frame range and optionally the FPS' — this modifies animation properties in the Blender scene, creating or updating animation configuration that can be reversed."

## Use case

AI agents use set_animation_range 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`
