update_scad_parameter

What update_scad_parameter does on Kiln

AI agents use update_scad_parameter 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.

Why update_scad_parameter is rated Medium

The tool modifies design parameters (reversibly) rather than executing print operations or deleting data. While the empty description reduces confidence, the 'update' action combined with SCAD parameter context suggests data modification (Write category). The severity is medium because parameter changes affect 3D printer behavior and output, but changes are typically reversible by updating parameters again.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'update_scad_parameter' with empty description. SCAD (OpenSCAD) is a parametric design language for 3D models. 'Update' indicates modification of design parameters that would alter 3D printer output.

The rule that runs update_scad_parameter 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 update_scad_parameter, this is the rule to start with:

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_scad_parameter": {
      "limits": [
