What create_scene does on Blender

AI agents use create_scene 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 create_scene needs a policy

This tool creates new data (a Blender scene) in a reversible manner. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial transactions. Scene creation can be undone in Blender, making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. The blast radius is minimal since creating an unused scene has no side effects on existing work or external systems.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a new Blender scene with a specified name. The verb 'create' and the action of instantiating a new scene object indicates data creation.

How to control create_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 create_scene:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_scene": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_scene_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_scene 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.

  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.

Questions about create_scene

What does the create_scene tool do? +

Create a new Blender scene with the specified name. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_scene? +

Register the Blender MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_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 create_scene? +

create_scene is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_scene? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_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 create_scene completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_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 create_scene? +

create_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.
