WHAT IT DOES

What rhino_export_iges does on Rhino

AI agents use rhino_export_iges 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_export_iges is rated Medium

This tool creates and writes data (IGES format files) from Rhino geometry. It is reversible (exported files can be deleted or overwritten) and has no destructive effect on existing data. The severity is medium because while it generates output files, the scope is limited to a single export operation and does not affect the underlying Rhino model or financial systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'rhino_export_iges' and description 'Export to IGES' indicate file creation/export of CAD geometry data. IGES is a standard CAD exchange format; exporting creates new files.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

rhino_export_iges Rate-limited

rhino_export_iges 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.
