## Facts

- Tool: `rhino_place_grid`
- 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_place_grid",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why rhino_place_grid is rated Medium

The tool creates multiple copies of a geometry object arranged in a grid pattern. This is a reversible modification operation (objects can be deleted) that adds data to the Rhino model without executing arbitrary code or causing irreversible destruction. It falls squarely into the Write category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Replicate a source object on a count_x x count_y grid' — this creates new geometric objects in Rhino via replication/duplication, which modifies the model state."

## Use case

AI agents use rhino_place_grid 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_place_grid": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "rhino_place_grid_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
