WHAT IT DOES

What blender_shutdown does on Blender

AI agents use blender_shutdown 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.

RISK

Why blender_shutdown is rated Medium

An AI agent can call blender_shutdown 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs blender_shutdown 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 blender_shutdown, this is the rule to start with:

blender_shutdown Rate-limited

blender_shutdown 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 blender_shutdown call is checked against it from then on.
