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

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

## Why select_on_screen is rated High

This tool triggers an interactive operation within AutoCAD, prompting the user to perform a manual selection action in the application UI. It goes beyond a pure read/query since it actively invokes an external application's interactive mode and triggers an external operation. However, it does not modify or delete data itself, placing it in the Execute category.

From the tool's own definition: "交互式屏幕选择 — 提示用户在 AutoCAD 中手动选择实体 (Interactive screen selection — prompts the user to manually select entities in AutoCAD)"

## Use case

AI agents invoke select_on_screen to trigger actions in Pypi:best Cad. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
