What zoom_extents does on GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-

AI agents invoke zoom_extents to trigger actions in GOLEM-3DMCP-Rhino-. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why zoom_extents needs a policy

This tool drives a viewport/UI operation in Rhino (zooming the camera/view), which is an external application action. It doesn't read/write data or delete anything, but it executes a command that changes the state of the Rhino application's viewport. Severity is low because misuse only affects the view, not any geometry or data.

From the tool's definition 'Zoom to the extents of all objects (or selected objects only)' — triggers a viewport action in Rhino

How to control zoom_extents

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 zoom_extents:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "zoom_extents": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "zoom_extents_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

zoom_extents stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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.
