What execute_script does on FreeCAD MCP Server

AI agents invoke execute_script to trigger actions in FreeCAD 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.

Why execute_script needs a policy

execute_script is a code execution tool that can run arbitrary Python or FreeCAD scripts against a live FreeCAD instance. This permits triggering external operations whose effects depend on arguments—from reading data to modifying documents or triggering CAD operations. The high confidence reflects the unambiguous semantics of 'execute_script', though the empty description prevents certainty about guardrails.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'execute_script' with no description provided. The name alone indicates execution of arbitrary scripts.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access execute_script gives an agent:

How to control execute_script

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and FreeCAD MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for execute_script:

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

execute_script 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 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.
