Apply visual effects to selected objects / 選択オブジェクトに視覚効果を適用
AI agents use affinity_apply_effect to create or update resources in MCP Affinity Designer Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Affinity Designer Server environment.
Applying visual effects (shadows, blurs, glows, etc.) to objects modifies document state reversibly. This is a Write operation because it creates or modifies data (effect properties on objects) but remains reversible — effects can be removed or adjusted. It is not Execute because it does not run arbitrary code or trigger external operations; it is a bounded design action.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Apply visual effects to selected objects' — this modifies the appearance/properties of objects in the document.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access affinity_apply_effect gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Affinity Designer Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for affinity_apply_effect:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"affinity_apply_effect": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "affinity_apply_effect_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}affinity_apply_effect 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.

Apply visual effects to selected objects / 選択オブジェクトに視覚効果を適用. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MCP Affinity Designer Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the MCP Affinity Designer Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for affinity_apply_effect: 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 MCP Affinity Designer Server. Nothing to install.
affinity_apply_effect 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 affinity_apply_effect 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 affinity_apply_effect. 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.
affinity_apply_effect is provided by the MCP Affinity Designer Server MCP server (szgk/mcp-affinity-designer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCP Affinity Designer Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
