Set position, rotation, and/or scale of an object
AI agents use set_transform 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.
This tool creates or modifies 3D object transforms in a Threlte/Three.js scene. The changes are reversible (unlike deletion via destroy_entity), and the tool does not execute arbitrary code or trigger destructive operations. It falls squarely into the Write category as a state-modifying operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it can 'Set position, rotation, and/or scale of an object' — this modifies object properties reversibly. The 3D scene manipulation (position, rotation, scale) are fundamental Write operations that alter scene state but can be undone.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access set_transform gives an agent:
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_transform:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"set_transform": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "set_transform_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}set_transform 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Set position, rotation, and/or scale of an object. 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.
Register the Threlte MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_transform: 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.
set_transform is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_transform 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_transform. 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.
set_transform 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.
Start from Threlte, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
