WHAT IT DOES

What scene_switch does on Mcp Anything

AI agents invoke scene_switch to trigger actions in Mcp Anything. 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.

RISK

Why scene_switch is rated High

Switching the active/live scene triggers an external operation that changes the state of a running application (likely a streaming/broadcast or 3D rendering tool). This is not merely reading data, nor is it creating/modifying persistent data in a reversible write sense—it executes a state transition in a live environment, which could have immediate visible consequences (e.g., going live with wrong scene in a…

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs scene_switch safely

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

scene_switch Rate-limited

scene_switch stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

How do I enforce a policy on scene_switch? +

Register the Mcp Anything MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scene_switch: 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 Mcp Anything. Nothing to install.

What risk level is scene_switch? +

scene_switch is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit scene_switch? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for scene_switch. 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.
