This tool creates or modifies a named camera preset by storing the current camera position. This is a Write operation because it creates new data (a preset) that can be modified or deleted later. The action is reversible—presets can be deleted or overwritten.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'save_camera_preset' and description 'Save current camera position as a named preset' indicate data creation/modification. Saves camera state as a reversible preset.

How to control save_camera_preset

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Threlte, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for save_camera_preset:

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

save_camera_preset 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 Threlte — 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.
