retexture_model · Meshy Bottube MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What retexture_model does on Meshy Bottube

AI agents use retexture_model to create or update resources in Meshy Bottube — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Meshy Bottube environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why retexture_model needs a policy

The tool modifies an existing 3D model by applying new textures, creating a new variant. This is a reversible modification (write/create operation) rather than destructive, as the original model is not deleted. The description is truncated, slightly lowering confidence, but 're-texture into a new variant' clearly implies a write/create action.
