What get_pattern_bounding_box does on CLO3D MCP Server

AI agents call get_pattern_bounding_box to retrieve information from CLO3D MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_pattern_bounding_box needs a policy

This tool retrieves geometric metadata (bounding box dimensions) from an existing pattern piece. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The operation is purely informational with no side effects, fitting the Read category. Low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI misuse would only return incorrect spatial information, not damage or alter designs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_pattern_bounding_box' and description 'Get the bounding box (width/height) of a pattern piece' indicate a retrieval operation that queries dimensional data without modifying state.

How to control get_pattern_bounding_box

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and CLO3D MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_pattern_bounding_box:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_pattern_bounding_box": {}
  }
}

get_pattern_bounding_box is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register CLO3D 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.
