AI agents use add_sketch_circle to create or update resources in FreeCAD Robust MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FreeCAD Robust MCP Server environment.
The tool creates new geometry in a FreeCAD sketch, which is a reversible modification of the 3D model data. This constitutes a Write operation. Severity is medium because while the change can be undone (FreeCAD supports undo), malicious or erroneous geometry creation could corrupt a model or waste computational resources.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a circle to a sketch' and accepts parameters (sketch_name, center_x, center_y, radius) to create geometry. Returns geometry_index and geometry_count indicating a new element was created.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_sketch_circle gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and FreeCAD Robust MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_sketch_circle:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"add_sketch_circle": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "add_sketch_circle_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}add_sketch_circle stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add a circle to a sketch. Args: sketch_name: Name of the sketch to add circle to. center_x: X coordinate of center. center_y: Y coordinate of center. radius: Circle radius. doc_name: Document containing the sketch. Uses active document if None. Returns: Dictionary with geometry info: - geometry_index: Index of the added circle - geometry_count: Total geometry elements. It is categorised as a Write tool in the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_sketch_circle: 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 Robust MCP Server. Nothing to install.
add_sketch_circle is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_sketch_circle 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 add_sketch_circle. 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.
add_sketch_circle is provided by the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server (spkane/freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
