## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "rhino_set_user_text",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why rhino_set_user_text is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies metadata on Rhino objects. It is reversible (the user text can be removed or changed), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could pollute object metadata or cause downstream issues in Grasshopper definitions or exports, but the impact is localized to object properties and not irreversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Attach a key-value user text entry to an object' — this modifies object metadata by adding or updating a user text property, which is a reversible write operation."

## Use case

AI agents use rhino_set_user_text 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:
