How to control create_parametric_definition ↓

AI agents use create_parametric_definition to create or update resources in GH_mcp_server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your GH_mcp_server environment.

Medium Risk

The name implies creation of a new artifact (a parametric definition), which maps to the Write category. However, the description is empty, so confidence is low. Given the server context (Rhino/Grasshopper modeling), this likely creates or writes a new parametric definition file or object. No indication of destructive, financial, or execution behavior from the name alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_parametric_definition' and empty description; name suggests creating a new parametric definition in Grasshopper/Rhino.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_parametric_definition gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GH_mcp_server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_parametric_definition:

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

create_parametric_definition 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.

  1. Create a free account and register GH_mcp_server — 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.

What does the create_parametric_definition tool do? +

create_parametric_definition. It is categorised as a Write tool in the GH_mcp_server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_parametric_definition? +

Register the GH_mcp_server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_parametric_definition: 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 GH_mcp_server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_parametric_definition? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_parametric_definition? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_parametric_definition 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 create_parametric_definition completely? +

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

create_parametric_definition is provided by the GH_mcp_server MCP server (veoery/gh_mcp_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every GH_mcp_server tool call.
