Add a rectangle to a sketch. Args: sketch_name: Name of the sketch to add rectangle to. x: X coordinate of bottom-left corner. y: Y coordinate of bottom-left corner. width: Rectangle width. height: Rectangle height. doc_name: Document containing the sketch. Uses active document if None. Returns: ...
AI agents use add_sketch_rectangle 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.
This tool creates new geometry (a rectangle) within a FreeCAD sketch, which is a reversible modification. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or affect external systems. The action is characteristic of Write category: creating or modifying data that can be undone. Low severity because the blast radius is limited to a single sketch object within a CAD document; misuse affects only the local design state.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a rectangle to a sketch' with parameters for coordinates, width, and height. Returns geometry info showing constraint_count and geometry_count, indicating the sketch is modified with new elements.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_sketch_rectangle 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_rectangle:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"add_sketch_rectangle": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "add_sketch_rectangle_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}add_sketch_rectangle 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 rectangle to a sketch. Args: sketch_name: Name of the sketch to add rectangle to. x: X coordinate of bottom-left corner. y: Y coordinate of bottom-left corner. width: Rectangle width. height: Rectangle height. doc_name: Document containing the sketch. Uses active document if None. Returns: Dictionary with geometry info: - constraint_count: Number of constraints in sketch - geometry_count: Number of 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_rectangle: 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_rectangle 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_rectangle 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_rectangle. 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_rectangle 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.
