Clear the current selection in FreeCAD. Requires GUI mode. Returns: Dictionary with result: - success: Whether operation was successful
AI agents use clear_selection 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.
Clearing a selection modifies the UI/application state (the active selection set) in FreeCAD. It is reversible (selection can be re-established) and has no destructive or financial impact. Severity is low as it only affects the transient selection state, not persistent model data.
From the tool's definition Clear the current selection in FreeCAD
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access clear_selection 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 clear_selection:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"clear_selection": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "clear_selection_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}clear_selection 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.

Clear the current selection in FreeCAD. Requires GUI mode. Returns: Dictionary with result: - success: Whether operation was successful. 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 clear_selection: 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.
clear_selection 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 clear_selection 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 clear_selection. 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.
clear_selection 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.
