What save_contour_as_stl does on CLIO Adios
AI agents use save_contour_as_stl to create or update resources in CLIO Adios, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CLIO Adios environment.
Why save_contour_as_stl is rated Medium
This tool creates and writes a new STL file to the data directory, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move money, or perform irreversible destruction. The medium severity reflects that file creation in a shared scientific data environment could impact subsequent analyses or consume storage, but the operation is reversible (the file can be deleted).
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Save the active contour or surface as an STL file' — the verb 'Save' indicates creation/writing of a new file to storage.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs save_contour_as_stl safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CLIO Adios, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For save_contour_as_stl, this is the rule to start with:
save_contour_as_stl 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 CLIO Adios, apply this rule, and every save_contour_as_stl call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about save_contour_as_stl
Save the active contour or surface as an STL file in the data directory. It is categorised as a Write tool in the CLIO Adios MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the CLIO Adios MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for save_contour_as_stl: 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 CLIO Adios. Nothing to install.
save_contour_as_stl 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 save_contour_as_stl 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 save_contour_as_stl. 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.
save_contour_as_stl is provided by the CLIO Adios MCP server (pypi:clio-kit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
