create_object · Blender MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_object does on Blender MCP

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_object needs a policy

This tool creates new objects in a Blender scene, which is a reversible write operation. The action modifies the scene state but can be undone (standard Blender undo functionality applies).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_object' and description 'Create a new object in the Blender scene' indicate data creation/modification within Blender's 3D scene.

Verdict

create_object Rate-limited

create_object 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_object? +

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

What risk level is create_object? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_object? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_object 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.
