WHAT IT DOES

What create_assembly does on Kiln

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

RISK

Why create_assembly is rated Medium

This tool creates a new assembly object, which is a write operation that modifies the 3D design/model state reversibly. It does not execute print commands, delete data, move money, or trigger external hardware actions. The blast radius is low: creating an empty assembly has minimal side effects and is easily undone by deletion or model reset.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_assembly' and description states 'Create a new empty assembly' — a creation action that adds new data structure to the system.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_assembly safely

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

create_assembly Rate-limited

create_assembly 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 Kiln, apply this rule, and every create_assembly call is checked against it from then on.
