AI agents use create_cylinder 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 creates new geometric data in a FreeCAD document, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial effects. The blast radius is low because creating a 3D primitive is a standard modeling operation that can be easily undone in FreeCAD, and misuse would only result in unwanted geometric objects rather than data loss or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool creates a 3D cylinder primitive object in FreeCAD with parameters like radius, height, and angle. The description explicitly states 'Create a Part Cylinder primitive' and returns object information about the created entity.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_cylinder 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 create_cylinder:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_cylinder": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_cylinder_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_cylinder 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.

Create a Part Cylinder primitive. Args: radius: Cylinder radius. Defaults to 5.0. height: Cylinder height. Defaults to 10.0. angle: Sweep angle in degrees (for partial cylinder). Defaults to 360. name: Object name. Auto-generated if None. doc_name: Target document. Uses active document if None. Returns: Dictionary with created object information: - name: Object name - label: Object label - type_id: Object type. 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 create_cylinder: 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.
create_cylinder 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 create_cylinder 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 create_cylinder. 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.
create_cylinder 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.
