List all model layers as {name, visible, color, id}.
AI agents call list_layers 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 and returns information about existing layers in a SketchUp model. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The output is purely informational and poses minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_layers' combined with description stating it returns layer properties (name, visible, color, id) indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all model layers as {name, visible, color, id}. 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 list_layers: 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.
list_layers 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 list_layers 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 list_layers. 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.
list_layers 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.
