## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "add_shape",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Pypi:best Cad:
