AI agents use export_scad_stl to create or modify resources in OpenSCAD. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call export_scad_stl repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach OpenSCAD.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so export_scad_stl only ever does what you allow.

What does the export_scad_stl tool do? +

Exports an STL generated from SCAD source.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OpenSCAD MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on export_scad_stl? +

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

What risk level is export_scad_stl? +

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

Can I rate-limit export_scad_stl? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_scad_stl. 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 export_scad_stl? +

export_scad_stl is provided by the OpenSCAD MCP server (openscad-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OpenSCAD tool call.
