AI agents use hfss_create_sphere to create or update resources in HFSS MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your HFSS MCP Server environment.
This tool creates a new geometric primitive (sphere) within an ANSYS HFSS simulation model. This is a reversible modification to the project state - the sphere can be deleted, modified, or the project can be reverted. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data permanently, move funds, or trigger external operations based on untrusted arguments.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'Create a sphere' - a geometric modeling operation that adds a new object to the HFSS simulation project without permanent or irreversible consequences.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access hfss_create_sphere gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and HFSS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for hfss_create_sphere:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"hfss_create_sphere": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "hfss_create_sphere_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}hfss_create_sphere 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Create a sphere. It is categorised as a Write tool in the HFSS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the HFSS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hfss_create_sphere: 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 HFSS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
hfss_create_sphere is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the hfss_create_sphere 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for hfss_create_sphere. 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.
hfss_create_sphere is provided by the HFSS MCP Server MCP server (leonardwy/hfss_mcpserver). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from HFSS MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
