# groove_sketch A write tool on the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `groove_sketch`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/spkane-freecad-addon-robust-mcp-server/groove-sketch ## Facts - Tool: `groove_sketch` - 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: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "groove_sketch", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why groove_sketch is rated Medium 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 own 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." ## Use case 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. 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": { "groove_sketch": { "limits": [ { "counter": "groove_sketch_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## 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.
