AI agents use set_instanced_mesh 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 set_instanced_mesh 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so set_instanced_mesh only ever does what you allow.

What does the set_instanced_mesh tool do? +

Modify InstancedMesh properties: count, visibility, frustumCulled — runtime-only preview (lost on reload). ASK the user first: runtime preview or persistent code change? Runtime preview — lost on page reload. You MUST ask the user first: runtime preview only, or also update source code?. 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 set_instanced_mesh? +

Register the Threejs Devtools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_instanced_mesh: 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.

What risk level is set_instanced_mesh? +

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

Can I rate-limit set_instanced_mesh? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_instanced_mesh 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.

How do I block set_instanced_mesh completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_instanced_mesh. 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 set_instanced_mesh? +

set_instanced_mesh 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.

Enforce policy on every Threejs Devtools tool call.
