AI agents use groove_sketch 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.
Groove operations in CAD typically create or modify features by cutting along a path. This would reversibly modify the FreeCAD model. The empty description reduces confidence from 0.75 to 0.6, but the tool context and naming are reliable indicators. Classified as Write (not Execute) because it appears to be a direct CAD operation with predictable parameters rather than arbitrary code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'groove_sketch' combined with sibling tools that are all sketch manipulation operations (add_sketch_arc, add_sketch_line, add_sketch_circle, etc.). The pattern indicates this modifies sketch geometry in FreeCAD.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access groove_sketch 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 groove_sketch:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"groove_sketch": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "groove_sketch_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}groove_sketch stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

groove_sketch. It is categorised as a Write tool in the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for groove_sketch: 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.
groove_sketch is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the groove_sketch 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 groove_sketch. 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.
groove_sketch 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.
