What rhino_sun_path does on Rhino
AI agents use rhino_sun_path 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.
Why rhino_sun_path is rated Medium
The tool creates geometry (polylines) in the Rhino environment. This is a Write operation as it creates new visual/geometric data in the scene. It does not delete existing data and can be undone, making it reversible. Misuse could clutter the scene with unwanted geometry but has limited blast radius.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rhino_sun_path 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_sun_path, this is the rule to start with:
rhino_sun_path 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_sun_path call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rhino_sun_path
Draw monthly sun-path polylines on a hemisphere of given radius around center_point. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Rhino MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Rhino MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rhino_sun_path: 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.
rhino_sun_path is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rhino_sun_path 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for rhino_sun_path. 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.
rhino_sun_path is provided by the Rhino MCP server (easehee/rhino-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
