Get currently selected components.
AI agents call get_selection to retrieve information from Sketchup Mcp2 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the current state of selected components in SketchUp without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is purely informational and has no side effects, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_selection' and description 'Get currently selected components' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of data or state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get currently selected components. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sketchup Mcp2 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sketchup Mcp2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_selection: 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 Sketchup Mcp2. Nothing to install.
get_selection 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_selection 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_selection. 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_selection is provided by the Sketchup Mcp2 MCP server (zinin/sketchup-mcp2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
