What clear_scene does on Blender

AI agents call clear_scene to permanently remove resources in Blender — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Why clear_scene needs a policy

This tool permanently removes all objects from a Blender scene, which is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone by normal means (beyond undo history). While not as catastrophic as deleting files from disk, clearing an entire scene represents a destructive action with significant blast radius—an AI agent could lose hours of 3D work.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'clear_scene' and description 'Remove all objects from the current scene' indicate irreversible deletion of scene content.

How to control clear_scene

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 clear_scene:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "clear_scene"
  ]
}

clear_scene disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

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

How do I enforce a policy on clear_scene? +

Register the Blender MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_scene: 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.

What risk level is clear_scene? +

clear_scene is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit clear_scene? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clear_scene 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.

How do I block clear_scene completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for clear_scene. 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.

What MCP server provides clear_scene? +

clear_scene 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.

Enforce policy on every Blender tool call.

Start from Blender, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
