Get recent FreeCAD console output. Args: lines: Maximum number of lines to return. Defaults to 100. Returns: List of console output lines, most recent last.
AI agents call get_console_output 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.
This tool queries and retrieves console output from FreeCAD without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations—it only reads historical log data. The severity is low because console output is typically non-sensitive diagnostic information, and misuse by an AI agent would have minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_console_output' and description states it retrieves ('Get') console output lines without modifying state. The operation returns data only: 'Returns: List of console output lines, most recent last.'

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_output:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_console_output": {}
}
}get_console_output is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get recent FreeCAD console output. Args: lines: Maximum number of lines to return. Defaults to 100. Returns: List of console output lines, most recent last. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_console_output: 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.
get_console_output is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_console_output 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 get_console_output. 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.
get_console_output 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.
