What copy_object does on FreeCAD Robust MCP Server
AI agents use copy_object 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 copy_object is rated Medium
Copying an object in FreeCAD creates new data (a duplicate) reversibly; the operation can be undone and does not permanently destroy information. This qualifies as Write rather than Read (which merely retrieves) or Destructive (which irreversibly deletes). Severity is medium because misuse could clutter the model or consume resources, but effects are non-destructive and localized to the project file.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'copy_object' indicates creation of a duplicate of an existing 3D model object in FreeCAD. The description is empty, which lowers confidence, but the naming convention and context of a modeling server (alongside sibling tools like add_sketch_line,…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs copy_object 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 copy_object, this is the rule to start with:
copy_object 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 copy_object call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about copy_object
copy_object 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 copy_object: 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.
copy_object 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 copy_object 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 copy_object. 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.
copy_object 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.
