# get_visible_entities_in_view List handles visible in a mapped view snapshot. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_visible_entities_in_view`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/get-visible-entities-in-view ## Facts - Tool: `get_visible_entities_in_view` - 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": "get_visible_entities_in_view", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_visible_entities_in_view is rated Low This tool queries and returns a list of visible entities from a CAD view snapshot. It performs data retrieval only—listing/getting information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. No state changes occur in the CAD model. The blast radius is minimal as misuse would only result in reading unintended view data. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_visible_entities_in_view' and description 'List handles visible in a mapped view snapshot' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects." ## Use case AI agents call get_visible_entities_in_view 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": { "get_visible_entities_in_view": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Pypi:best Cad (320) - `clear_spatial_annotations` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/clear-spatial-annotations.md - `clear_understanding_cache` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/clear-understanding-cache.md - `delete_entities` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-entities.md - `delete_entity` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-entity.md - `delete_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-layer.md - `delete_named_view` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-named-view.md - `delete_selection_set` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/delete-selection-set.md - `erase_selection_entities` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/erase-selection-entities.md - `purge_drawing` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/purge-drawing.md - `remove_hyperlink` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/remove-hyperlink.md - `build_drawing_ir` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/build-drawing-ir.md - `check_runtime_environment` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/check-runtime-environment.md - `execute_cad_plan` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-cad-plan.md - `execute_query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-query.md - `execute_sql_query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/execute-sql-query.md - `highlight_entities` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/highlight-entities.md - `pan` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/pan.md - `plot_preview` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/plot-preview.md - `plot_to_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/plot-to-device.md - `regen` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/regen.md - `reload_xref` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/reload-xref.md - `render_drawing_view` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/render-drawing-view.md - `restart_mcp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/restart-mcp.md - `restore_named_view` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/restore-named-view.md - `revolve_region` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/revolve-region.md - `select_on_screen` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/select-on-screen.md - `send_command` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/send-command.md - `set_active_layout` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-active-layout.md - `set_active_ucs` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-active-ucs.md - `set_variable` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp/set-variable.md - …and 290 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-lokmenower-best-cad-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
