Why get_object_info needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only query operation that retrieves scene data without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only fetches and returns information about existing objects. This aligns with the Read category definition: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects'.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_object_info' and description states it retrieves 'detailed information about a specific object in the Maya scene' with no modification, deletion, or execution capability mentioned.

How to control get_object_info

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Maya MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_object_info:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_object_info": {}
  }
}

get_object_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Maya MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
