What constrain_tangent does on FreeCAD Robust MCP Server
AI agents use constrain_tangent 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.
Why constrain_tangent is rated Medium
Based on the naming pattern and context of sibling tools (add_sketch_constraint, add_sketch_circle, etc.), 'constrain_tangent' likely adds a tangent constraint to sketch geometry in FreeCAD, which is a reversible write/modification operation. The description is empty, reducing confidence, but the tool name and server context strongly suggest it modifies sketch data by adding a geometric constraint.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'constrain_tangent' on a FreeCAD MCP server with sibling tools like 'add_sketch_constraint', 'add_sketch_line', etc.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs constrain_tangent safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FreeCAD Robust MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For constrain_tangent, this is the rule to start with:
constrain_tangent 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FreeCAD Robust MCP Server, apply this rule, and every constrain_tangent call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about constrain_tangent
constrain_tangent is a write tool on the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server. 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_tangent: 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_tangent 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_tangent 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_tangent. 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_tangent 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.
