# find_entities_by_description Find scanned entities with rule-based lexical and spatial matching. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `find_entities_by_description`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/find-entities-by-description ## Facts - Tool: `find_entities_by_description` - Server: Pypi:best Cad (`pypi:best-cad-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:best-cad-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/LokmenoWer/best-cad-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "find_entities_by_description", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why find_entities_by_description is rated Low This tool retrieves or queries existing CAD entities based on matching criteria (lexical patterns and spatial relationships). It has no side effects on the drawing data itself — it only locates and returns matching entities. This is characteristic of a Read operation. Severity is low because misuse would at worst return incorrect query results without affecting the drawing or triggering external operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Find scanned entities' with 'rule-based lexical and spatial matching' — a search/query operation that retrieves data without modifying drawings or executing external commands." ## Use case AI agents call find_entities_by_description 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**.
