WHAT IT DOES

What test does on Solidworks

AI agents call test as a supporting operation in Solidworks workflows.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why test needs a policy

This is a diagnostic/health-check tool that only verifies the server is operational. It performs no data reads, writes, executions, or destructive actions. It is a no-op used to confirm connectivity.

From the tool's definition "Test tool - server is working" - explicitly described as a test/diagnostic tool with no functional side effects

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches Solidworks, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about test

What does the test tool do? +

Test tool - server is working. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Solidworks MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on test? +

Register the Solidworks MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for test: 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.

What risk level is test? +

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

Can I rate-limit test? +

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

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

test 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.
