What set_background_color does on GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-

AI agents use set_background_color 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 set_background_color needs a policy

This tool modifies a viewport's visual property (background color), which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or have financial impact. The change can be easily undone by setting a different color.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'set_background_color' and description states it 'Set the background colour of a Rhino viewport.' This modifies viewport properties, which are reversible settings within the Rhino application.

How to control set_background_color

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 set_background_color:

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

set_background_color 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.
