THE RISK

Low Risk

Why blender_categories needs a policy

With no description provided, the tool name alone ('blender_categories') suggests it may list or organize categories within Blender, implying a Read operation. However, given the empty description, confidence is very low. Defaulting to Other due to insufficient information, though it could be Read if it merely enumerates Blender categories.

From the tool's definition Tool description is empty and the name 'blender_categories' does not clearly indicate any destructive, financial, execute, write, or read operation.

POLICY

How to control blender_categories

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Blender, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for blender_categories:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "blender_categories": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "blender_categories_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

blender_categories gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Blender — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
