Why get_objects needs a policy

This tool queries and returns a list of objects and a screenshot from a FreeCAD document. It has no side effects, does not modify state, and does not execute code or delete data. It is a pure read operation that retrieves information about document contents.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_objects' and description 'Get all objects in a document' with stated purpose 'to see what you can check or edit' — retrieval only, no modification or execution.

How to control get_objects

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_objects": {}
  }
}

get_objects is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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