AI agents call get_screenshot 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.
The get_screenshot tool retrieves visual data from FreeCAD's current state without creating, modifying, or destroying any data. This is a read-only operation that captures the UI state. No side effects occur. The low severity reflects minimal risk: screenshot data cannot harm the system, though it could expose model details to the AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_screenshot' indicates image capture/retrieval with no modification capability. Description is empty, but function name strongly suggests data retrieval operation (get_*).
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_screenshot 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_screenshot:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_screenshot": {}
}
}get_screenshot is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_screenshot. 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_screenshot: 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_screenshot 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_screenshot 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_screenshot. 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_screenshot 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.
