## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "rhino_export_iges",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Rhino:

```json

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "rhino_export_iges": {
      "limits": [
