Medium Risk

solve_sketch

Solve a 2D sketch constraint set. Side-effect-free: pass { entities, constraints } and receive solved entities plus the original constraints. Entities are POINT, LINE, and CIRCLE records; constraints use the kernelCAD constraint vocabulary.

Part of the Kernelcad server.

solve_sketch can modify Kernelcad data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use solve_sketch 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 solve_sketch 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 solve_sketch gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so solve_sketch only ever does what you allow.

What does the solve_sketch tool do? +

Solve a 2D sketch constraint set. Side-effect-free: pass { entities, constraints } and receive solved entities plus the original constraints. Entities are POINT, LINE, and CIRCLE records; constraints use the kernelCAD constraint vocabulary.. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on solve_sketch? +

Register the Kernelcad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for solve_sketch: 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.

What risk level is solve_sketch? +

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

Can I rate-limit solve_sketch? +

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

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

solve_sketch 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.

Enforce policy on every Kernelcad tool call.
