Copy objects and translate the copies by a displacement vector.

What copy_objects does on GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-

AI agents use copy_objects to create or update resources in GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- environment.

Medium Risk

Why copy_objects needs a policy

Copying and translating objects creates new data in the design model but does not destroy or permanently alter existing geometry. The action is reversible (copies can be deleted). While the broader server context includes destructive booleans and arbitrary Python execution (more severe), this specific tool performs a Write operation that modifies the model state by adding new objects.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Copy objects and translate the copies' — this creates new geometry objects in the Rhino model, a reversible modification.

How to control copy_objects

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 copy_objects:

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

copy_objects 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 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 copy_objects

What does the copy_objects tool do? +

Copy objects and translate the copies by a displacement vector. It is categorised as a Write tool in the GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on copy_objects? +

Register the GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for copy_objects: 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 copy_objects? +

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

Can I rate-limit copy_objects? +

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

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

copy_objects 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.
