AI agents use sweep_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.
Based on the naming convention and context of sibling tools (add_sketch_*), 'sweep_sketch' likely creates a 3D sweep operation by extruding a sketch profile along a path — a Write operation that creates/modifies 3D geometry. Confidence is lowered because the description is empty, leaving the exact behavior ambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sweep_sketch' in context of a FreeCAD 3D modeling server with sibling tools like add_sketch_arc, add_sketch_circle, etc.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sweep_sketch 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 sweep_sketch:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"sweep_sketch": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "sweep_sketch_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}sweep_sketch stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

sweep_sketch. It is categorised as a Write tool in the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sweep_sketch: 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.
sweep_sketch is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sweep_sketch 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 sweep_sketch. 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.
sweep_sketch 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.
