What highlight_entity does on Pypi:best Cad
AI agents use highlight_entity 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 highlight_entity is rated Medium
The tool modifies the display state of an entity by changing its color, which is a Write-category operation because it alters data (entity properties) reversibly. It does not delete, execute code, or move money. Severity is low because highlighting is a non-destructive, temporary visual change that does not affect drawing integrity or geometry.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'temporarily changes [entity] color' (临时改变其颜色). This is a reversible modification of visual properties.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs highlight_entity 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 highlight_entity, this is the rule to start with:
highlight_entity 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 highlight_entity call is checked against it from then on.
