What ai_chat does on Blender
AI agents use ai_chat to create or update resources in Blender, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Blender environment.
Why ai_chat is rated Medium
An AI agent can call ai_chat faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Blender by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ai_chat safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Blender, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ai_chat, this is the rule to start with:
ai_chat 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Blender, apply this rule, and every ai_chat call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about ai_chat
ai_chat is a write tool on the Blender MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Blender MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Blender MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ai_chat: 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. Nothing to install.
ai_chat 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 ai_chat 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 ai_chat. 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.
ai_chat is provided by the Blender MCP server (sandraschi/blender-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
