AI agents use add_sketch_text 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_sketch_text 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_sketch_text 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 sketch.text(...) call into a kernelCAD script before the last top-level return statement. Returns the modified code as text plus diagnostics from re-evaluating the result. Side-effect-free. The emitted sketch is chainable: pair with subsequent .extrude(...) / cut(...) edits to land an engraved or raised text feature. Default font is the runtime-bundled Liberation Sans; pass font as a .ttf path to load a custom font.. 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_sketch_text: 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_sketch_text 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_sketch_text 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_sketch_text. 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_sketch_text 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.
