WHAT IT DOES

What rhino_rotate does on Rhino

AI agents use rhino_rotate 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_rotate is rated Medium

This tool modifies the position/orientation of existing geometry objects in Rhino by rotating them. This is a reversible transformation (objects can be rotated back), making it a Write operation. Misuse could alter geometry in unintended ways, but effects are recoverable.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs rhino_rotate 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_rotate, this is the rule to start with:

rhino_rotate Rate-limited

rhino_rotate 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.

How do I enforce a policy on rhino_rotate? +

Register the Rhino MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rhino_rotate: 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.

What risk level is rhino_rotate? +

rhino_rotate is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit rhino_rotate? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rhino_rotate 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.

How do I block rhino_rotate completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for rhino_rotate. 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.
