How to control list_objects ↓

AI agents call list_objects 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.

Low Risk

The tool name 'list_objects' strongly suggests querying or enumerating existing objects in FreeCAD's data model. This is a non-destructive, read-only operation with no side effects. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the naming convention and context among other tools that modify state (add_*, activate_*) confirm this is a retrieval operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_objects' indicates retrieval of objects without modification. The pattern matches 'list' operations which are read-only queries.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_objects 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 list_objects:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_objects": {}
  }
}

list_objects is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register FreeCAD Robust MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the list_objects tool do? +

list_objects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_objects? +

Register the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_objects: 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.

What risk level is list_objects? +

list_objects is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit list_objects? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_objects 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.

How do I block list_objects completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_objects. 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.

What MCP server provides list_objects? +

list_objects 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.

Enforce policy on every FreeCAD Robust MCP Server tool call.
