WHAT IT DOES

What explode_object does on Aos

AI agents use explode_object to create or update resources in Aos, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Aos environment.

RISK

Why explode_object is rated Medium

The tool transforms a single grouped/compound object into multiple separate objects, which is a structural modification of the CAD model. This is reversible (the parts could be re-grouped), making it Write rather than Destructive. However, it does alter model state and could break workflows if applied incorrectly.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Explode a polycurve, brep, or group into its component parts.' This decomposes geometry objects into their constituent elements, modifying the object structure.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs explode_object safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Aos, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For explode_object, this is the rule to start with:

explode_object Rate-limited

explode_object 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.

FAQ

Questions about explode_object

What does the explode_object tool do? +

Explode a polycurve, brep, or group into its component parts. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Aos MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on explode_object? +

Register the Aos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for explode_object: 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 Aos. Nothing to install.

What risk level is explode_object? +

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

Can I rate-limit explode_object? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the explode_object 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 explode_object completely? +

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

What MCP server provides explode_object? +

explode_object is provided by the Aos MCP server (@hybridlabor-api/aos). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
