WHAT IT DOES

What rhino_cage_edit does on Rhino

AI agents use rhino_cage_edit 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_cage_edit is rated Medium

The tool modifies geometry by deforming objects using a control cage. This is a reversible modification (Write), as deformations in 3D modeling can typically be undone. The severity is medium since misuse could alter multiple objects' geometry, but it doesn't delete data or execute arbitrary code.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

rhino_cage_edit Rate-limited

rhino_cage_edit 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.
