## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "create_cylinder",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why create_cylinder is rated Medium

The tool creates a new geometric object (cylinder) in FreeCAD, which is a reversible Write operation. It modifies the design state by adding geometry, but the change can be undone. Severity is medium because misuse could waste computational resources or pollute the model with unwanted geometry, but the action is recoverable. Confidence is reduced from 0.85 to 0.75 due to the empty description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_cylinder' indicates creation of a 3D model object in FreeCAD. Description is empty but context from sibling tools (add_sketch_arc, add_sketch_line, etc.) and the server's purpose ('3D modeling') clarifies this is a modeling operation."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches FreeCAD Robust MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_cylinder": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_cylinder_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
