What add_shape does on Pypi:best Cad
AI agents use add_shape 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.
Why add_shape is rated Medium
This tool adds shapes to a CAD drawing, which modifies the drawing content. It creates new objects (shapes from .shx files) but does not irreversibly delete data or execute arbitrary code—the operation is reversible through standard CAD undo mechanisms. The changes are localized to the drawing being edited.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'insert predefined shape' (从 .shx 形状文件中插入预定义图形) and name 'add_shape' indicates creation/modification of drawing content. The action creates new geometric objects in the CAD drawing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_shape safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pypi:best Cad, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_shape, this is the rule to start with:
add_shape stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Pypi:best Cad, apply this rule, and every add_shape call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about add_shape
绘制形 (Shape) — 从 .shx 形状文件中插入预定义图形。. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pypi:best Cad MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Pypi:best Cad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_shape: 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 Pypi:best Cad. Nothing to install.
add_shape is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_shape 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 add_shape. 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.
add_shape is provided by the Pypi:best Cad MCP server (pypi:best-cad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
