get_pattern_count

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_pattern_count needs a policy

This tool only retrieves a count of pattern pieces—a read-only query with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive capability. It poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_pattern_count' and description 'Get the total number of pattern pieces in the current project' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata about existing patterns without modifying, executing operations, or deleting data.

POLICY

How to control get_pattern_count

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_count:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_pattern_count": {}
  }
}

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

Create a free account and register CLO3D MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about get_pattern_count

What does the get_pattern_count tool do? +

Get the total number of pattern pieces in the current project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CLO3D MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_pattern_count? +

Register the CLO3D MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_pattern_count: 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 CLO3D MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_pattern_count? +

get_pattern_count is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_pattern_count? +

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

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

get_pattern_count is provided by the CLO3D MCP Server MCP server (ubani-studio/clo3d-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every CLO3D MCP Server tool call.

Start from CLO3D MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
