# export_step A write tool on the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `export_step`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/export-step ## Facts - Tool: `export_step` - Server: FreeCAD Robust MCP Server (`spkane/freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/spkane/freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "export_step", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why export_step is rated Medium Export operations write/serialize data to external files. While export itself does not modify the original model (reversible via re-import), it creates new persistent files and could expose sensitive design data. This fits Write category rather than Read because it generates and commits data to storage, distinct from merely querying. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'export_step' which exports 3D model data to STEP format; sibling tools are all 3D modeling operations (sketches, workbenches, constraints), indicating this server manages CAD design files." ## Use case AI agents use export_step 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": { "export_step": { "limits": [ { "counter": "export_step_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on FreeCAD Robust MCP Server (151) - `close_document` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/close-document.md - `delete_macro` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/delete-macro.md - `delete_object` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/delete-object.md - `delete_sketch_constraint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/delete-sketch-constraint.md - `delete_sketch_geometry` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/delete-sketch-geometry.md - `spreadsheet_clear_cell` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/spreadsheet-clear-cell.md - `activate_workbench` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/activate-workbench.md - `boolean_operation` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/boolean-operation.md - `draft_extrude_shapestring` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/draft-extrude-shapestring.md - `execute_python` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/execute-python.md - `explode_compound` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/explode-compound.md - `part_sweep` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/part-sweep.md - `recompute` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/recompute.md - `recompute_document` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/recompute-document.md - `revolution_sketch` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/revolution-sketch.md - `run_macro` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/run-macro.md - `safe_execute` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/safe-execute.md - `scale_object` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/scale-object.md - `set_camera_position` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/set-camera-position.md - `shell_object` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/shell-object.md - `slice_shape` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/slice-shape.md - `subtractive_loft` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/subtractive-loft.md - `subtractive_pipe` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/subtractive-pipe.md - `common_all` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/common-all.md - `draft_feature` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/draft-feature.md - `draft_shapestring_to_face` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/draft-shapestring-to-face.md - `draft_text_on_surface` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/draft-text-on-surface.md - `section_shape` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/section-shape.md - `set_display_mode` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/set-display-mode.md - `set_view_angle` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/set-view-angle.md - …and 121 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
