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

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

## Why shade_smooth is rated Medium

The tool modifies object shading properties (smooth vs flat), which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial impact. The change can be easily undone by toggling the shading mode back. Severity is low because this is a cosmetic/rendering preference with no impact on data integrity or external systems.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs a reversible modification: 'Set smooth or flat shading on an object' with a boolean parameter to toggle between states. This changes object appearance properties without deleting or destroying data."

## Use case

AI agents use shade_smooth 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:

## 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`
