# activate_workspace_drawing Switch metadata reads and writes to a drawing inside the current workspace. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `activate_workspace_drawing`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/activate-workspace-drawing ## Facts - Tool: `activate_workspace_drawing` - Server: Pypi:best Cad (`pypi:best-cad-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:best-cad-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/LokmenoWer/best-cad-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "activate_workspace_drawing", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why activate_workspace_drawing is rated Medium This is a Write operation because it changes application state (which drawing is active for metadata operations). It is reversible (you can switch to another drawing), so it does not qualify as Destructive. It is not Execute because it does not run code or trigger complex external operations. From the tool's own definition: "The tool performs a state-changing operation: 'Switch metadata reads and writes to a drawing' indicates it modifies the active context/state of the CAD application, which affects subsequent read/write operations." ## Use case AI agents use activate_workspace_drawing to create or update resources in Pypi:best Cad, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Pypi:best Cad environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Pypi:best Cad: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "activate_workspace_drawing": { "limits": [ { "counter": "activate_workspace_drawing_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Pypi:best Cad (320) - `clear_spatial_annotations` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/clear-spatial-annotations.md - `clear_understanding_cache` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/clear-understanding-cache.md - `delete_entities` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-entities.md - `delete_entity` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-entity.md - `delete_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-layer.md - `delete_named_view` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-named-view.md - `delete_selection_set` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-selection-set.md - `erase_selection_entities` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/erase-selection-entities.md - `purge_drawing` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/purge-drawing.md - `remove_hyperlink` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/remove-hyperlink.md - `build_drawing_ir` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/build-drawing-ir.md - `check_runtime_environment` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/check-runtime-environment.md - `execute_cad_plan` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-cad-plan.md - `execute_query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-query.md - `execute_sql_query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-sql-query.md - `highlight_entities` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/highlight-entities.md - `pan` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/pan.md - `plot_preview` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/plot-preview.md - `plot_to_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/plot-to-device.md - `regen` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/regen.md - `reload_xref` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/reload-xref.md - `render_drawing_view` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/render-drawing-view.md - `restart_mcp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/restart-mcp.md - `restore_named_view` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/restore-named-view.md - `revolve_region` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/revolve-region.md - `select_on_screen` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/select-on-screen.md - `send_command` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/send-command.md - `set_active_layout` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-active-layout.md - `set_active_ucs` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-active-ucs.md - `set_variable` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-variable.md - …and 290 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
