Why get_scene_info needs a policy

This tool retrieves and returns information about an existing Blender scene. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. It is a straightforward read/query operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes scene information that is already accessible within Blender.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_scene_info' and description 'Get detailed information about the current Blender scene' indicate a query operation that retrieves scene metadata without modifying state.

How to control get_scene_info

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_scene_info": {}
  }
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register BlenderMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
