## Why blender_categories is rated Low

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

## Use case

AI agents call blender_categories as a supporting operation in Blender workflows.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Blender:

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