AI agents use constrain_coincident 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 modifies a FreeCAD sketch by adding a coincident constraint between two geometry points. It creates/writes new constraint data into the document, but this is reversible (constraints can be removed). No code execution, deletion, or financial action is involved.
From the tool's definition Constrain two points to be coincident (same location) — adds a geometric constraint to a sketch
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access constrain_coincident 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 constrain_coincident:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"constrain_coincident": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "constrain_coincident_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}constrain_coincident 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.

Constrain two points to be coincident (same location). Args: sketch_name: Name of the sketch. geometry1: Index of first geometry element. point1: Point on first geometry (1=start, 2=end, 3=center). geometry2: Index of second geometry element. point2: Point on second geometry. doc_name: Document containing the sketch. Uses active document if None. Returns: Dictionary with constraint info: - constraint_index: Index of the added constraint. 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 constrain_coincident: 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.
constrain_coincident 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 constrain_coincident 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 constrain_coincident. 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.
constrain_coincident 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.
