constrain_fix

Fix (lock) a point or geometry in place. Args: sketch_name: Name of the sketch. geometry_index: Index of the geometry element. point_index: Point to fix (1=start, 2=end, 3=center). -1 to fix the entire element. doc_name: Document containing the sketch. Uses active document if None. Returns: Dicti...

How to control constrain_fix ↓

AI agents use constrain_fix 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.

Medium Risk

This tool adds a constraint to a sketch geometry in FreeCAD, which is a reversible write operation (constraints can be deleted). It modifies the document by locking a point or geometry element in place, but does not execute code or irreversibly destroy data.

From the tool's definition Fix (lock) a point or geometry in place... Returns: constraint_index: Index of the added constraint

Risk signalsBulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access constrain_fix 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_fix:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "constrain_fix": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "constrain_fix_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

constrain_fix 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.

  1. Create a free account and register FreeCAD Robust MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the constrain_fix tool do? +

Fix (lock) a point or geometry in place. Args: sketch_name: Name of the sketch. geometry_index: Index of the geometry element. point_index: Point to fix (1=start, 2=end, 3=center). -1 to fix the entire element. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on constrain_fix? +

Register the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for constrain_fix: 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.

What risk level is constrain_fix? +

constrain_fix is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit constrain_fix? +

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

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

constrain_fix 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.

Enforce policy on every FreeCAD Robust MCP Server tool call.
