Zoom out the 3D view. Requires GUI mode. Args: factor: Zoom factor (>1 zooms out). Defaults to 1.5. doc_name: Document to zoom out. Uses active document if None. Returns: Dictionary with result: - success: Whether operation was successful
AI agents invoke zoom_out 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.
This tool triggers an action in FreeCAD's GUI (zooming the 3D view), which is an external operation whose effect depends on arguments (factor, doc_name). It doesn't read, write, or destroy data, but it does execute a UI interaction in an external application. Severity is low as it only affects the visual viewport state with no data modification or loss.
From the tool's definition 'Zoom out the 3D view' — triggers a GUI viewport action in FreeCAD, an external application operation
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access zoom_out 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 zoom_out:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"zoom_out": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "zoom_out_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}zoom_out 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.

Zoom out the 3D view. Requires GUI mode. Args: factor: Zoom factor (>1 zooms out). Defaults to 1.5. doc_name: Document to zoom out. Uses active document if None. Returns: Dictionary with result: - success: Whether operation was successful. 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.
Register the FreeCAD Robust MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for zoom_out: 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.
zoom_out is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the zoom_out 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 zoom_out. 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.
zoom_out 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.
