What get_properties does on Tesseract 26 Eyeshot
AI agents call get_properties to retrieve information from Tesseract 26 Eyeshot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_properties is rated Low
This tool queries and returns metadata about CAD entities (type, layer, visibility, colour) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation on CAD model data with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_properties' and description states it retrieves 'detailed properties for a specific CAD entity' - a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_properties safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tesseract 26 Eyeshot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_properties, this is the rule to start with:
get_properties is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tesseract 26 Eyeshot, apply this rule, and every get_properties call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_properties
Get detailed properties for a specific CAD entity by its ID (e.g. type, layer, visibility, colour). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tesseract 26 Eyeshot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tesseract 26 Eyeshot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_properties: 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 Tesseract 26 Eyeshot. Nothing to install.
get_properties is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_properties 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_properties. 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.
get_properties is provided by the Tesseract 26 Eyeshot MCP server (a-001-byte/tesseract-26-eyeshot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
