What set_gravity does on Threlte

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

Medium Risk

Why set_gravity needs a policy

This tool modifies a global scene property (gravity vector) in the Three.js/Threlte scene. It is reversible since gravity can be changed again, making it a Write operation. Misuse could disrupt all physics simulations in the scene, giving it medium severity.

How to control set_gravity

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 set_gravity:

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

set_gravity 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.

Questions about set_gravity

What does the set_gravity tool do? +

Set global gravity vector. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Threlte MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on set_gravity? +

Register the Threlte MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_gravity: 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 Threlte. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_gravity? +

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

Can I rate-limit set_gravity? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_gravity 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 set_gravity completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_gravity. 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 set_gravity? +

set_gravity is provided by the Threlte MCP server (serifeusstudio/threlte-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Threlte tool call.

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