What create_arc does on GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-

AI agents use create_arc 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.

Why create_arc needs a policy

This tool creates a new arc geometry object in Rhino, which is a reversible Write operation. It adds new data to the model but does not execute arbitrary code, delete irreversibly, or move money. The severity is medium because misuse could add unwanted geometry to a model, but the effect is recoverable through undo/deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool is part of GOLEM-3DMCP server which provides 'direct, programmatic control of Rhino 8' to 'create geometry.' The tool name 'create_arc' and its presence among sibling tools like 'align_objects', 'apply_transform', 'array_objects_linear' indicates it…

How to control create_arc

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 create_arc:

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

create_arc 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.
