How to control safe_execute ↓

AI agents invoke safe_execute to trigger actions in FreeCAD Robust MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

The name 'safe_execute' strongly suggests code or command execution within FreeCAD. Despite the 'safe' qualifier implying safeguards, the core function is Execute—triggering external operations (macro/script execution) whose effects depend on arguments. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the name and server context (macro development, debugging) make Execute the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'safe_execute' with empty description; context indicates FreeCAD macro development and script execution support; 'execute' in name indicates running code/operations with potential side effects.

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "safe_execute": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "safe_execute_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

safe_execute stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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 safe_execute tool do? +

safe_execute. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on safe_execute? +

Register the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for safe_execute: 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 safe_execute? +

safe_execute is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit safe_execute? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the safe_execute 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 safe_execute completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for safe_execute. 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 safe_execute? +

safe_execute 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.
