get_object
AI agents call get_object to retrieve information from FreeCAD MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'get_object' follows a standard retrieval pattern (analogous to 'get' in REST APIs or database operations). It retrieves or queries object data from the FreeCAD model without side effects. While the sibling context shows this server can perform destructive and write operations, this specific tool's name and position in the function set indicate it is a read-only accessor.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_object' indicates retrieval without modification. Sibling tools include clearly destructive operations (delete_object, edit_object) and write operations (create_object, create_document), which are named distinctly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_object. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FreeCAD MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FreeCAD MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_object: 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 MCP. Nothing to install.
get_object is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_object 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 get_object. 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.
get_object is provided by the FreeCAD MCP server (yaeshio/freecad-mcp-for-ydga). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
