Create a boss/base extrusion from the current or most recent sketch. The sketch must contain a closed profile (rectangle, circle, or closed polygon).

AI agents use extrude to create or update resources in SolidWorks MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SolidWorks MCP Server environment.
This tool creates a new solid body feature in SolidWorks by extruding a sketch profile. It is a reversible CAD modeling operation (the feature can be deleted or suppressed), making it a Write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could corrupt a model or add unwanted geometry, hence medium severity.
From the tool's definition Create a boss/base extrusion from the current or most recent sketch... This creates a solid body by extruding the sketch profile to the specified depth.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access extrude 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 extrude:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"extrude": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "extrude_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}extrude 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 boss/base extrusion from the current or most recent sketch. The sketch must contain a closed profile (rectangle, circle, or closed polygon). This creates a solid body by extruding the sketch profile to the specified depth. Parameters: - depth: Extrusion depth in mm (default: 25) - reverse: Extrude in opposite direction (default: false) - draft: Draft angle in degrees (default: 0, max: 89) Returns the feature ID of the created extrusion. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SolidWorks MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the SolidWorks MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for extrude: 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.
extrude is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the extrude 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 extrude. 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.
extrude 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.
