# rhino_layer_create Create a layer with optional colour and visibility. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `rhino_layer_create`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-layer-create ## Facts - Tool: `rhino_layer_create` - Server: Rhino (`easehee/rhino-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/EaseHee/rhino-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "rhino_layer_create", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why rhino_layer_create is rated Medium Creating a layer is a reversible modification operation that adds data to the Rhino model. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or create financial obligations. The medium severity reflects that layer creation could affect model organization and rendering, but the impact is limited in scope and the operation is non-destructive. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Create a layer', which is a write operation that creates new data structures in Rhino. The tool modifies the layer hierarchy and properties (colour, visibility) in the 3D model." ## Use case AI agents use rhino_layer_create 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**.
