AI agents call blender_list_files to retrieve information from ClaudeKit Blender MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves file system information without side effects. It is a passive read operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—unauthorized file listing could expose project structure but cannot alter assets or trigger operations.
From the tool's definition Tool performs file system listing operations: 'List files and directories', 'File listing with metadata including sizes, types, and modification times'. Arguments are read-only (directory_path, recursive, include_hidden filters).

List files and directories in the Blender project or specified directory. Provides comprehensive file system overview for project management and asset organization. Args: - directory_path (optional): Directory path to list (relative to project) - recursive (boolean, default false): Include subdirectories recursively - include_hidden (boolean, default false): Include hidden files and directories Returns: File listing with metadata including sizes, types, and modification times Examples: - Current directory: directory_path=. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ClaudeKit Blender MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ClaudeKit Blender MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for blender_list_files: 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 ClaudeKit Blender MCP. Nothing to install.
blender_list_files is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the blender_list_files 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for blender_list_files. 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.
blender_list_files is provided by the ClaudeKit Blender MCP server (olbboy/claudekit-blender-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
