What list_macros does on FreeCAD Robust MCP Server
AI agents call list_macros 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.
Why list_macros is rated Low
The tool appears to retrieve or enumerate macros in FreeCAD, a read-only operation with no side effects. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention is clear. Listing operations are low severity as they pose minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_macros' indicates a listing operation. No description provided, but the 'list_' prefix strongly suggests retrieving or querying existing macro data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_macros safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FreeCAD Robust MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_macros, this is the rule to start with:
list_macros is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FreeCAD Robust MCP Server, apply this rule, and every list_macros call is checked against it from then on.

list_macros 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 list_macros 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.
