What translate_object does on Blender Copilot MCP Server
AI agents use translate_object 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.
Why translate_object is rated Medium
This tool modifies the position of an object in a Blender scene. It is a reversible write operation (the object can be moved back), with no destructive, financial, or execution implications. The blast radius is low since it only affects object positioning within a 3D scene.
From the tool's definition Move an object. If relative=True (default), adds to current position.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs translate_object 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 translate_object, this is the rule to start with:
translate_object stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 translate_object call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about translate_object
Move an object. If relative=True (default), adds to current position. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Blender Copilot MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Blender Copilot MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for translate_object: 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.
translate_object is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the translate_object 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 translate_object. 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.
translate_object 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.
