Parse metadata (estimated time, filament usage, cost, layers) from a G-code file and return structured JSON.
AI agents call analyze_gcode_metadata to retrieve information from OrcaSlicer MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
analyze_gcode_metadata performs passive analysis of G-code file metadata (time, filament, cost, layers). It queries and retrieves information with no side effects, modifications, or external operations triggered. This is a pure Read operation. Severity is low because misuse cannot cause damage—an agent cannot print incorrect parts or lose data through metadata parsing alone.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Parse metadata... and return structured JSON' — a read-only operation that retrieves and returns data without modifying files, settings, or printer state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Parse metadata (estimated time, filament usage, cost, layers) from a G-code file and return structured JSON. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OrcaSlicer MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OrcaSlicer MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_gcode_metadata: 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 OrcaSlicer MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_gcode_metadata 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 analyze_gcode_metadata 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 analyze_gcode_metadata. 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.
analyze_gcode_metadata is provided by the OrcaSlicer MCP Server MCP server (itsumonotakumi/orcaslicer-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
