WHAT IT DOES

What rhino_save does on Rhino

AI agents use rhino_save 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_save is rated Medium

This tool writes/persists data (a Rhino document) to disk, making it a Write operation. Severity is high because an AI agent could inadvertently overwrite important design files, save malformed geometry, or corrupt existing work. However, it's reversible (the old file might be recoverable, or users can undo changes), so it doesn't reach Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Write the document to disk' - this is a direct save/persist operation that modifies the filesystem.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs rhino_save 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_save, this is the rule to start with:

rhino_save Rate-limited

rhino_save 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Rhino, apply this rule, and every rhino_save call is checked against it from then on.
