Why get_revit_model_info needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries information about a Revit model without modifying, executing code, or triggering external operations. It has no side effects beyond reading model metadata. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access data it shouldn't see, not modify or destroy it.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_revit_model_info' and description 'Get comprehensive information about the current Revit model' indicate data retrieval only.

POLICY

How to control get_revit_model_info

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP server for Revit - Python, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_revit_model_info:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_revit_model_info": {}
  }
}

get_revit_model_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register MCP server for Revit - Python — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
