What rhino_object_delete does on Rhino
AI agents call rhino_object_delete to permanently remove resources in Rhino, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why rhino_object_delete is rated Critical
Deletion of objects from a CAD document cannot be undone programmatically by this tool and represents a permanent loss of design work. This is the most severe category applicable. An AI agent misusing this could destroy significant user geometry and work, warranting high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'rhino_object_delete' and description 'Delete the given objects from the document' explicitly indicate irreversible deletion of data from the Rhino document.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rhino_object_delete 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_object_delete, this is the rule to start with:
rhino_object_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Rhino, apply this rule, and every rhino_object_delete call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rhino_object_delete

Register the Rhino MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rhino_object_delete: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Rhino. Nothing to install.
rhino_object_delete is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rhino_object_delete rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for rhino_object_delete. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
