How to control create_polyline_walls ↓

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

Medium Risk

The tool name and sibling context indicate this creates polyline-based walls in an IFC model, which is a reversible write operation modifying the 3D model structure. Without a description, confidence is moderate. Severity is medium because incorrect wall creation could require significant manual correction but doesn't irreversibly destroy data or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' suggesting data creation; listed alongside other creation tools (create_door, create_mesh_ifc, create_roof, create_slab, create_stairs) in an IFC model editing context; no description provided to indicate destructive or…

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_polyline_walls gives an agent:

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

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

create_polyline_walls 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 IFC Bonsai MCP — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_polyline_walls? +

Register the IFC Bonsai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_polyline_walls: 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 IFC Bonsai MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_polyline_walls? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_polyline_walls? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_polyline_walls 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_polyline_walls completely? +

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

create_polyline_walls is provided by the IFC Bonsai MCP server (show2instruct/ifc-bonsai-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every IFC Bonsai MCP tool call.
