What create_datum_line does on FreeCAD Robust MCP Server
AI agents use create_datum_line 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 create_datum_line is rated Medium
This tool creates a datum line object in FreeCAD, which is a reversible Write operation (objects can be deleted). While it modifies the CAD model state, datum lines are standard modeling elements that can be undone or removed. The impact is limited to the CAD project file being edited, not the underlying system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_datum_line' indicates creation of a geometric datum object in FreeCAD. The sibling tools (add_sketch_arc, add_sketch_circle, add_sketch_line, etc.) are all geometry creation operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_datum_line 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 create_datum_line, this is the rule to start with:
create_datum_line 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 create_datum_line call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_datum_line

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_datum_line 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_datum_line 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_datum_line. 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_datum_line 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.
