Medium Risk

scene_tree

List all objects in the Three.js scene tree. Returns compact text tree by default (saves tokens). Set compact=false for full JSON.

Part of the Threejs Devtools MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

threejs-devtools-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use scene_tree 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 scene_tree repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept'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.

What does the scene_tree tool do? +

List all objects in the Three.js scene tree. Returns compact text tree by default (saves tokens). Set compact=false for full JSON.. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on scene_tree? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for scene_tree. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Threejs Devtools MCP server.

What risk level is scene_tree? +

scene_tree is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit scene_tree? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the scene_tree rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block scene_tree completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for scene_tree. 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.

What MCP server provides scene_tree? +

scene_tree is provided by the Threejs Devtools MCP server (threejs-devtools-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
