WHAT IT DOES

What set_spatial_tangents does on Ae

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`save`	boolean	—
`compName`	string	Yes
`keyIndex`	number	Yes	1-based keyframe index
`inTangent`	array	—	In tangent as [x,y] or [x,y,z]
`layerName`	string	Yes
`timeoutMs`	number	—
`outTangent`	array	—	Out tangent as [x,y] or [x,y,z]
`projectPath`	string	—
`propertyPath`	array	Yes

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_spatial_tangents is rated Medium

An AI agent can call set_spatial_tangents faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Ae by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_spatial_tangents safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ae, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_spatial_tangents, this is the rule to start with:

set_spatial_tangents Rate-limited

set_spatial_tangents 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ae, apply this rule, and every set_spatial_tangents call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about set_spatial_tangents

What does the set_spatial_tangents tool do? +

Set the spatial (bezier) in/out tangent handles for a specific keyframe of a position property. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ae MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does set_spatial_tangents accept? +

set_spatial_tangents accepts 9 parameters: save, compName, keyIndex, inTangent, layerName, timeoutMs, outTangent, projectPath, propertyPath. Required: compName, keyIndex, layerName, propertyPath. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on set_spatial_tangents? +

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

What risk level is set_spatial_tangents? +

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

Can I rate-limit set_spatial_tangents? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_spatial_tangents 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_spatial_tangents completely? +

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

set_spatial_tangents is provided by the Ae MCP server (@synthetic-ai/ae-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
