WHAT IT DOES

What rhino_patch does on Rhino

AI agents use rhino_patch 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_patch is rated Medium

This tool generates a new surface/mesh object in the Rhino document by fitting a patch to boundary curves. It creates data reversibly (the object can be deleted), placing it in the Write category. Severity is medium because misuse could clutter or corrupt a design document, but it is not irreversible.

From the tool's definition 'Patch a region defined by boundary curves' — creates new geometry (a surface patch) in Rhino from input curves.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs rhino_patch 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_patch, this is the rule to start with:

rhino_patch Rate-limited

rhino_patch 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.
