cfd_fluidx3d_status
AI agents call cfd_fluidx3d_status to retrieve information from FreeCAD MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Status-checking tools are inherently read-only operations that query current state without side effects. Even if the tool reports on an ongoing simulation, retrieving status information poses minimal risk—it cannot modify, delete, or execute external operations. The low severity reflects the read-only nature and limited blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cfd_fluidx3d_status' contains the word 'status', which typically indicates a query or retrieval operation that reports state without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
cfd_fluidx3d_status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FreeCAD MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FreeCAD MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cfd_fluidx3d_status: 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 FreeCAD MCP. Nothing to install.
cfd_fluidx3d_status 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 cfd_fluidx3d_status 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 cfd_fluidx3d_status. 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.
cfd_fluidx3d_status is provided by the FreeCAD MCP server (sandraschi/freecad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
