insert_into_scad · Kiln MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What insert_into_scad does on Kiln

AI agents invoke insert_into_scad to trigger actions in Kiln. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why insert_into_scad needs a policy

OpenSCAD is a script-based 3D modeling language. Inserting into a SCAD script implies writing or executing code that could be used to generate or modify 3D models. Given the context of a 3D printer control server, this likely involves writing/executing script content. With no description available, confidence is reduced, but the name suggests at minimum a Write action and potentially Execute if the script is run.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'insert_into_scad' suggests executing or modifying OpenSCAD code/scripts; description is empty and uninformative.
