Check for interference between components in an assembly
AI agents call check_interference to retrieve information from Solidworks without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only diagnostic tool that queries the state of an assembly to detect geometric conflicts. It retrieves and analyzes data without side effects, modifications, or irreversible actions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: incorrect interference detection might produce false positives/negatives but cannot damage designs or trigger unintended operations.
From the tool's definition The tool name 'check_interference' and description 'Check for interference between components in an assembly' indicate this is an analysis/query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check for interference between components in an assembly. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Solidworks MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Solidworks MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_interference: 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. Nothing to install.
check_interference 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_interference 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_interference. 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_interference is provided by the Solidworks MCP server (solidworks-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
