# get_selection A read tool on the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_selection`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/get-selection ## Facts - Tool: `get_selection` - 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: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_selection", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_selection is rated Low This tool retrieves the current selection in FreeCAD, which is a read-only query with no side effects. Even with an empty description, the naming convention and peer tools strongly indicate it queries state rather than modifies it. Severity is low because selection data retrieval poses minimal risk to the FreeCAD project or system. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_selection' indicates retrieval of current selection state in FreeCAD. The absence of description is mitigated by context: sibling tools are all Write/Execute operations (add_sketch_*, activate_workbench), making 'get_selection' clearly a query…" ## Use case AI agents call get_selection to retrieve information from FreeCAD Robust MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. 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": { "get_selection": {} } } ``` ## 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.
