# rhino_render_to_file Execute the configured render and write the result to output_path. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `rhino_render_to_file`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-render-to-file ## Facts - Tool: `rhino_render_to_file` - Server: Rhino (`easehee/rhino-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/EaseHee/rhino-mcp - Risk category: Execute (High 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_render_to_file", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why rhino_render_to_file is rated High This tool both executes a rendering operation (triggering external compute in Rhino) and writes a file to disk at a caller-specified path. The most severe applicable category is Execute, since it runs an external operation whose effects depend on arguments. The ability to write to arbitrary file paths raises the severity to high, as a misused path could overwrite important files. From the tool's own definition: "'Execute the configured render and write the result to output_path' — triggers an external rendering operation and writes output to a file path" ## Use case AI agents invoke rhino_render_to_file to trigger actions in Rhino. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## 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_render_to_file": { "limits": [ { "counter": "rhino_render_to_file_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Rhino (244) - `gh_delete_component` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/gh-delete-component.md - `gh_reset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/gh-reset.md - `rhino_bim_pset_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-bim-pset-delete.md - `rhino_layer_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-layer-delete.md - `rhino_object_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-object-delete.md - `rhino_render_queue_cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-render-queue-cancel.md - `gh_new_canvas` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/gh-new-canvas.md - `gh_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/gh-run.md - `gh_run_template` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/gh-run-template.md - `rhino_annotation_scale_bar` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-annotation-scale-bar.md - `rhino_attractor_displace_points` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-attractor-displace-points.md - `rhino_axis_ribs` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-axis-ribs.md - `rhino_batch_call` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-batch-call.md - `rhino_boolean_intersection` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-boolean-intersection.md - `rhino_boolean_union` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-boolean-union.md - `rhino_bridge_select_instance` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-bridge-select-instance.md - `rhino_display_mode_set` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-display-mode-set.md - `rhino_drawing_section_cut` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-drawing-section-cut.md - `rhino_execute_csharp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-execute-csharp.md - `rhino_execute_python` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-execute-python.md - `rhino_mesh_boolean_union` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-mesh-boolean-union.md - `rhino_network_surface` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-network-surface.md - `rhino_object_select` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-object-select.md - `rhino_render_queue_submit` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-render-queue-submit.md - `rhino_section` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-section.md - `rhino_section_at_axis` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-section-at-axis.md - `rhino_shell` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-shell.md - `rhino_skin_from_sections` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-skin-from-sections.md - `rhino_taper` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-taper.md - `rhino_turntable_render` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp/rhino-turntable-render.md - …and 214 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/easehee-rhino-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
