What draw_line does on Piskel MCP Server

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

Why draw_line needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data (pixel art canvas) in a reversible manner. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While it changes canvas state, the modification is non-destructive and can be undone or overwritten. It falls squarely into the Write category as a creative modification tool.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'draw_line' and description states 'Draw a line between two points'. This modifies pixel art canvas state by adding a visual element (a line) between coordinates.

How to control draw_line

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

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

draw_line 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 Piskel 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.
