Create a Transient Thermal system in the running Workbench bridge.
AI agents use create_transient_thermal_system_live to create or update resources in Ansys Workbench — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ansys Workbench environment.
This tool creates a new Transient Thermal analysis system within Ansys Workbench. It is a Write operation as it adds/creates a new system object in the running Workbench session. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because misuse could create unwanted simulation systems or consume computational resources, but effects are reversible.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_transient_thermal_system_live gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ansys Workbench, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_transient_thermal_system_live:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_transient_thermal_system_live": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_transient_thermal_system_live_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_transient_thermal_system_live 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.

Create a Transient Thermal system in the running Workbench bridge. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ansys Workbench MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Ansys Workbench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_transient_thermal_system_live: 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 Ansys Workbench. Nothing to install.
create_transient_thermal_system_live 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 create_transient_thermal_system_live 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 create_transient_thermal_system_live. 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.
create_transient_thermal_system_live is provided by the Ansys Workbench MCP server (hongwenwang36-eng/ansys-workbench-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Ansys Workbench, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
