WHAT IT DOES

What gh_set_panel does on Rhino

AI agents use gh_set_panel to create or update resources in Rhino, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Rhino environment.

RISK

Why gh_set_panel is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly within a Grasshopper design environment. Setting panel text is a write operation that changes the state of a component but can be undone or overwritten. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or perform financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it will "Set the text contents of a Panel component" — this modifies data (panel text) within Grasshopper.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gh_set_panel safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Rhino, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gh_set_panel, this is the rule to start with:

gh_set_panel Rate-limited

gh_set_panel 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 Rhino, apply this rule, and every gh_set_panel call is checked against it from then on.
