AI agents call analyze_draft to retrieve information from SolidWorks MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The verb 'analyze' combined with the context of examining 'draft angles' for manufacturing purposes reflects a measurement or inspection function. There is no indication this tool creates, modifies, deletes, or executes external code—it retrieves or computes analytical data from the CAD model. This is consistent with Read operations in CAD environments, placing it in the low-severity category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze_draft' with description 'Analyze draft angles for molding' indicates a read-only inspection operation that queries or computes properties of an existing model without modifying it.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analyze_draft gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SolidWorks MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_draft:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"analyze_draft": {}
}
}analyze_draft is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Analyze draft angles for molding. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SolidWorks MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SolidWorks MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_draft: 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 SolidWorks MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_draft 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_draft 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_draft. 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_draft is provided by the SolidWorks MCP Server MCP server (jianzhichun/solidworks-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from SolidWorks MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
