What add_viewport does on Pypi:best Cad
AI agents use add_viewport 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_viewport is rated Medium
This tool creates a new viewport object in AutoCAD paper space, which modifies the drawing by adding a new entity. This is a reversible write operation—viewports can be deleted or modified without permanent data loss. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius is limited to the current drawing file being edited.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_viewport' and description '在图纸空间布局中创建视口' (Create viewport in paper space layout). The verb 'add' and 'create' indicate object creation, a reversible write operation typical of CAD modeling.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_viewport 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_viewport, this is the rule to start with:
add_viewport 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_viewport call is checked against it from then on.
