How to control get_console_log ↓

AI agents call get_console_log to retrieve information from FreeCAD Robust MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves historical console output from FreeCAD for inspection purposes. It performs a read-only query of existing log data, has no side effects, cannot modify state, and does not execute code or trigger operations. The only parameter (lines count) controls the volume of data returned, not the nature of the operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_console_log' and description 'Get recent console output from FreeCAD' indicates retrieval of existing diagnostic data with no modification or execution capabilities. Returns only messages, warnings, and errors without side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_console_log 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 get_console_log:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_console_log": {}
  }
}

get_console_log is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register FreeCAD Robust MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
