What save_document_as does on GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-

AI agents use save_document_as 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 save_document_as needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies files by saving a document to a specified path. While it doesn't delete existing data, it can overwrite files at the target path if they exist, making it a Write operation rather than Read. Severity is medium because misuse could result in unintended file creation/overwrites, but this is reversible (the original file persists unless explicitly overwritten).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'save_document_as' and description explicitly indicates it saves/writes the current Rhino document to a new file path. This is a file write operation.

How to control save_document_as

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 save_document_as:

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

save_document_as 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.
