WHAT IT DOES

What rhino_box does on Rhino

AI agents use rhino_box 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 rhino_box is rated Medium

The tool creates/adds geometry to the Rhino model, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or trigger financial actions. The severity is medium because misuse could clutter a model with unintended geometry, but the operation is undoable and localized to geometry creation.

From the tool's definition 'Add a rectangular box' — creates new geometry in Rhino. The tool generates a new 3D object that is persisted in the model.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs rhino_box 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 rhino_box, this is the rule to start with:

rhino_box Rate-limited

rhino_box 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 rhino_box call is checked against it from then on.
