AI agents use overlay_selected to create or modify resources in Threejs Devtools. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call overlay_selected repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Threejs Devtools.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access overlay_selected gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Get comprehensive details about the object currently selected in the overlay. Returns full material properties, geometry info, transforms, textures, uniforms, shadow settings — everything needed to understand and modify the object in code. The user must first select an object in the overlay by clicking on it.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Threejs Devtools MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Threejs Devtools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for overlay_selected: 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 Threejs Devtools. Nothing to install.
overlay_selected is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the overlay_selected rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for overlay_selected. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
overlay_selected is provided by the Threejs Devtools MCP server (threejs-devtools-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
