What get_scene_info does on Blender MCP

AI agents call get_scene_info to retrieve information from Blender MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_scene_info needs a policy

This tool retrieves scene metadata and object listings without side effects. It is a read-only operation analogous to listing or fetching data. The sibling tools (create_object, delete_object, execute_python, modify_object) perform write, destructive, and execute actions, but get_scene_info itself only queries state.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Return[s] information about the current Blender scene and all objects in it' — a pure query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code.
