What measure_distance does on Pypi:best Cad
AI agents call measure_distance 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.
Why measure_distance is rated Low
The tool computes geometric measurements (distance and angle) between two points in a CAD drawing. This is a read-only query with no data modification, execution of commands, or destructive potential.
From the tool's definition 计算两点之间的直线距离和角度 — 'calculates straight-line distance and angle between two points'; purely a measurement/query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs measure_distance 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 measure_distance, this is the rule to start with:
measure_distance is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 measure_distance call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about measure_distance
计算两点之间的直线距离和角度。. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pypi:best Cad MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pypi:best Cad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for measure_distance: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Pypi:best Cad. Nothing to install.
measure_distance is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the measure_distance rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for measure_distance. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
measure_distance is provided by the Pypi:best Cad MCP server (pypi:best-cad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
