How to control apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard ↓
AI agents use apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard to create or update resources in OpenStudio MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OpenStudio MCP Server environment.
This tool creates or modifies data in the building energy model (space types and construction sets), which are reversible changes. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or handle financial transactions (Financial). The severity is high because misapplying construction sets or space types could invalidate energy simulation results and lead to poor building design decisions.
From the tool's definition Tool name indicates applying space type and construction set assignments to model objects. The 'apply' and 'wizard' terminology suggests modification of building energy model properties.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OpenStudio MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard 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.
Free to start. No card required.
apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OpenStudio MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the OpenStudio MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard: 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 OpenStudio MCP Server. Nothing to install.
apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard 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 apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard. 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.
apply_space_type_and_construction_set_wizard is provided by the OpenStudio MCP Server MCP server (roruizf/openstudio-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from OpenStudio MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
