AI agents use export_iges 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 or writes data (IGES file export) reversibly. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial impact. The exported file is a new artifact and the operation is reversible (the file can be deleted or regenerated). Classified as Write rather than Read because it produces persistent output artifacts rather than merely retrieving existing data.
From the tool's definition Tool exports CAD objects to IGES format file via `export_iges` with `file_path` argument. Creates new file output without modifying source data or destroying existing files.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access export_iges 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 export_iges:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"export_iges": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "export_iges_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}export_iges 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.

Export objects to IGES format. IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is an older but still widely supported CAD data exchange format. Args: file_path: Path for the output .iges file. object_names: List of object names to export. Exports all visible if None. doc_name: Document to export from. Uses active document if None. Returns: Dictionary with export result: - success: Whether export was successful - path: Path to exported file - object_count: Number of objects exported. 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 export_iges: 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.
export_iges 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 export_iges 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 export_iges. 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.
export_iges 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.
