What boolean_difference does on GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-

AI agents invoke boolean_difference to trigger actions in GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why boolean_difference needs a policy

Boolean difference is a geometry operation that modifies 3D objects by subtracting one shape from another. It transforms/overwrites existing geometry in Rhino, making it an Execute-level operation (running a geometric computation with side effects on the model). While it modifies data, it is a standard CAD operation that can typically be undone within the application, so it does not rise to Destructive.

How to control boolean_difference

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for boolean_difference:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "boolean_difference": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "boolean_difference_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

boolean_difference stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- — 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 boolean_difference

What does the boolean_difference tool do? +

Subtract cutter breps from target breps (Boolean difference). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on boolean_difference? +

Register the GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for boolean_difference: 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 GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-. Nothing to install.

What risk level is boolean_difference? +

boolean_difference is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit boolean_difference? +

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

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

boolean_difference is provided by the GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- MCP server (thekinghippopotamus/golem-3dmcp-rhino-). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- tool call.
