What move_frame does on Piskel MCP Server

AI agents use move_frame 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 move_frame needs a policy

This operation creates or modifies data in a reversible manner. Moving frames changes the order/structure of animation data without permanent deletion, making it a Write action rather than Destructive. While it could disrupt an animation's intended sequence if misused by an agent (medium severity), the action can be undone by moving the frame back to its original position.

From the tool's definition The tool 'move_frame' modifies the animation sequence by repositioning frames. The description states it moves 'a frame to a new position in the animation sequence,' which is a reversible modification of project structure.

How to control move_frame

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 move_frame:

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

move_frame 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.

Questions about move_frame

What does the move_frame tool do? +

Move a frame to a new position in the animation sequence. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Piskel 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 move_frame? +

Register the Piskel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for move_frame: 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 Piskel MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is move_frame? +

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

Can I rate-limit move_frame? +

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

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

move_frame is provided by the Piskel MCP Server MCP server (yafeiaa/piskel-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
