What list_objects does on FreeCAD Robust MCP Server
AI agents call list_objects 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_objects is rated Low
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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_objects 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_objects, this is the rule to start with:
list_objects 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_objects call is checked against it from then on.

list_objects 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_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.
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.
