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

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

## Why delete_layer is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes layers from AutoCAD drawings. While the description notes restrictions (cannot delete current layer, layer 0, or layers with entities), the core function is destructive data removal. Layer deletion in CAD systems irreversibly alters the document structure.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name: delete_layer. Description indicates it deletes layers (删除图层 = 'delete layer'). The operation is irreversible—deleted layers and their associated data cannot be recovered in AutoCAD without undo, and once a drawing is saved, the deletion is…"

## Use case

AI agents call delete_layer to permanently remove resources in Pypi:best Cad, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
