# rhino_layer_set_material Bind a render material to a layer so layer-source objects inherit it. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `rhino_layer_set_material`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-layer-set-material ## Facts - Tool: `rhino_layer_set_material` - 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_set_material", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why rhino_layer_set_material is rated Medium This tool performs a write operation: it modifies layer metadata (material binding) in the Rhino document. The change is reversible (materials can be unbound or changed again), so it does not qualify as Destructive. It is not Read (no side effects), Execute (does not run arbitrary code or external operations), Financial, or Other. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Bind a render material to a layer' — this modifies the material property of a layer, which is a reversible change to layer attributes in the Rhino document." ## Use case AI agents use rhino_layer_set_material 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**.
