Why freecad_rotate_object needs a policy

Rotation is a geometric transformation that modifies an object's placement/orientation in the CAD model. This is a Write operation because it creates or modifies data reversibly — rotation can be undone or re-applied. It is not Execute (no arbitrary code/command execution), not Destructive (the change is reversible), not Financial or Read.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Rotate an object by specified angles around its placement base point' — this modifies object geometry/placement attributes in the FreeCAD document.

POLICY

How to control freecad_rotate_object

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Freecad, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for freecad_rotate_object:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "freecad_rotate_object": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "freecad_rotate_object_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

freecad_rotate_object stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Mcp Freecad — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about freecad_rotate_object

What does the freecad_rotate_object tool do? +

Rotate an object by specified angles around its placement base point (XYZ order). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Freecad MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on freecad_rotate_object? +

Register the Mcp Freecad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for freecad_rotate_object: 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 Mcp Freecad. Nothing to install.

What risk level is freecad_rotate_object? +

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

Can I rate-limit freecad_rotate_object? +

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

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

freecad_rotate_object is provided by the Mcp Freecad MCP server (jango-blockchained/mcp-freecad). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Mcp Freecad tool call.

Start from Mcp Freecad, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
