What hide_objects does on GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-

AI agents use hide_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 hide_objects needs a policy

Hiding or showing objects modifies the visibility state of objects in the document but does not delete or irreversibly alter geometry. This is a reversible modification (objects can be shown again), placing it in the Write category. Severity is low as no geometry is destroyed and the action is easily undone.

How to control hide_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 hide_objects:

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

hide_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.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

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

Can I rate-limit hide_objects? +
