AI agents call check_geometry 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.
This tool performs validation and analysis of geometric properties in a SolidWorks model. It retrieves information about geometry and reports potential issues, which is a read-only operation with no side effects on the model or external systems. While it may inform decisions for subsequent Write or Execute operations, the tool itself only queries and reports, making it a Read category risk.
From the tool's definition The tool is named 'check_geometry' with description 'Check model geometry for errors'. The verb 'check' and the action of error-checking indicate this is a diagnostic/inspection operation that queries or analyzes existing model state without modifying,…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access check_geometry 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 check_geometry:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"check_geometry": {}
}
}check_geometry 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.
Check model geometry for errors. 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 check_geometry: 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.
check_geometry 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 check_geometry 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 check_geometry. 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.
check_geometry 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.
