get_project_files

List all OpenSCAD files in a project directory and map their dependencies. Recursively finds every .scad file under *project_dir*, parses each file for include and use statements, and returns a structured overview of the project's file tree and dependency graph. Args: project_dir: Root directory ...

How to control get_project_files ↓

AI agents call get_project_files to retrieve information from OpenSCAD MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This is a Read operation: it retrieves file system information and parses text content without side effects. However, severity is elevated to medium rather than low because (1) the tool recursively traverses arbitrary project directories, which could enumerate sensitive file structures if access controls are misconfigured, and (2) the dependency graph extraction involves parsing code, which while not executing it,…

From the tool's definition Tool performs recursive directory traversal and file enumeration ('Recursively finds every `.scad` file'), parses file contents to extract include/use statements, and returns 'structured overview of the project's file tree and dependency graph.' No…

Risk signalsAdmin/system-level operation

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_project_files gives an agent:

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

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

get_project_files 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 OpenSCAD MCP Server — 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.

What does the get_project_files tool do? +

List all OpenSCAD files in a project directory and map their dependencies. Recursively finds every .scad file under *project_dir*, parses each file for include and use statements, and returns a structured overview of the project's file tree and dependency graph. Args: project_dir: Root directory of the OpenSCAD project. Validated against security.allowed_paths when configured. ctx: MCP context for logging Returns: Dict with success status, files list (each with name, path, size_bytes, modified), and dependencies mapping (relative path to list of dependency strings). It is categorised as a Read tool in the OpenSCAD MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_project_files? +

Register the OpenSCAD MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_project_files: 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 OpenSCAD MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_project_files? +

get_project_files is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_project_files? +

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

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

get_project_files is provided by the OpenSCAD MCP Server MCP server (quellant/openscad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OpenSCAD MCP Server tool call.
