AI agents use add_pattern_feature to create or modify resources in Kernelcad. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call add_pattern_feature repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Kernelcad.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_pattern_feature gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Insert a Shape.patternLinear / .patternCircular / .patternGrid call into a kernelCAD script before the last top-level return. Pass structured args (kind + the matching spec object). Returns the modified code plus diagnostics from re-evaluating. Side-effect-free. The pattern feature is a single editable unit; pattern-instance face refs resolve via <sourceId>_pattern_<i> on the pattern feature's lineage. Geometric note: pattern is implemented as cumulative boolean union of transformed source copies — additive features (boxes, ribs, fins, spokes) pattern cleanly; patterning a subtractive feature (hole, cutout) only preserves the per-instance void when adjacent bodies are disjoint.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Kernelcad MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Kernelcad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_pattern_feature: 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 Kernelcad. Nothing to install.
add_pattern_feature is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_pattern_feature 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 add_pattern_feature. 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.
add_pattern_feature is provided by the Kernelcad MCP server (kernelcad). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
