hole_linear · Inventor MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What hole_linear does on Inventor

AI agents use hole_linear to create or update resources in Inventor — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Inventor environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why hole_linear needs a policy

Based on the server context (parametric 3D modeling, sketching, extrusion, hole features) and the tool name, 'hole_linear' likely creates a linear pattern of holes or a single hole feature in a 3D model — a Write operation that modifies the model. The description is empty, which lowers confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'hole_linear' on a server for parametric 3D modeling in Autodesk Inventor; description is empty.

Verdict

hole_linear Rate-limited

hole_linear 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.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches Inventor, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about hole_linear

What does the hole_linear tool do? +

hole_linear. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Inventor MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on hole_linear? +

Register the Inventor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hole_linear: 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 Inventor. Nothing to install.

What risk level is hole_linear? +

hole_linear is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit hole_linear? +

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

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

What MCP server provides hole_linear? +

hole_linear is provided by the Inventor MCP server (neonglay/inventor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
