What vision.import_point_cloud does on Visionmcp
AI agents use vision.import_point_cloud to create or update resources in Visionmcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Visionmcp environment.
Why vision.import_point_cloud is rated Medium
The tool imports/loads data (a PLY point cloud) and creates/seals an ObservationBundle, which is a data creation/write operation. It does not execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius is moderate — it writes a new bundle into the system but is likely reversible.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs vision.import_point_cloud safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Visionmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For vision.import_point_cloud, this is the rule to start with:
vision.import_point_cloud 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Visionmcp, apply this rule, and every vision.import_point_cloud call is checked against it from then on.
