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

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

## Why detect_semantic_objects is rated Low

This tool retrieves and analyzes semantic information from CAD drawings and stores metadata in a local SQLite database. It has no side effects on the drawing (no creation, modification, or deletion of CAD entities), no code execution on external systems, and no financial implications. The storage to SQLite is a form of data collection/logging rather than modification of primary CAD assets.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'detect_semantic_objects' performs detection and analysis of CAD objects with the constraint that results are 'store them in SQLite only' — this is a localized read/query operation that identifies patterns in existing drawing data without modifying…"

## Use case

AI agents call detect_semantic_objects to retrieve information from Pypi:best Cad without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "detect_semantic_objects": {}
  }
}
```
