Get detailed macro security information
AI agents call macro_get_security_info 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 operation—it retrieves security metadata about macros without modifying, deleting, or executing code. However, severity is medium rather than low because security information itself is sensitive and could be leveraged by an attacker to identify vulnerabilities or plan exploits if exposed to a malicious agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get detailed macro security information', indicating data retrieval with no modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed macro security information. 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 macro_get_security_info: 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.
macro_get_security_info 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 macro_get_security_info 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 macro_get_security_info. 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.
macro_get_security_info 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.
