Compute nearest-neighbour C2C distances from the compared cloud to the reference cloud.
AI agents call compute_cloud_to_cloud_distances to retrieve information from Cloudcompare without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool computes distance measurements between two point clouds. It retrieves/calculates metrics (distances) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations on the underlying data. It is an analytical/read operation, similar to a query. Severity is low as misuse would at worst produce incorrect measurements with no side effects on stored data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Compute nearest-neighbour C2C distances from the compared cloud to the reference cloud. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cloudcompare MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cloudcompare MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for compute_cloud_to_cloud_distances: 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 Cloudcompare. Nothing to install.
compute_cloud_to_cloud_distances 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 compute_cloud_to_cloud_distances 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 compute_cloud_to_cloud_distances. 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.
compute_cloud_to_cloud_distances is provided by the Cloudcompare MCP server (yufeioptimal/cloudcompare-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
