What close_holes does on Metashape MCP Server

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

Medium Risk

Why close_holes needs a policy

This tool modifies the 3D mesh structure by closing holes, which is a write operation that changes model geometry. While reversible (the user can undo or re-export), it alters project state and could affect downstream processing or model quality if applied incorrectly. Severity is medium because the modification is scoped to mesh topology and doesn't delete data irreversibly or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Close holes in the 3D mesh' — this modifies the mesh geometry by filling gaps, which is a reversible alteration of the 3D model data.

How to control close_holes

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "close_holes": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "close_holes_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

close_holes 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Metashape 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.

Questions about close_holes

What does the close_holes tool do? +

Close holes in the 3D mesh. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Metashape MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on close_holes? +

Register the Metashape MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for close_holes: 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 Metashape MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is close_holes? +

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

Can I rate-limit close_holes? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for close_holes. 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 close_holes? +

close_holes is provided by the Metashape MCP Server MCP server (jenkinsm13/metashape-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
