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

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

## Why set_current_layer is rated Medium

This tool changes CAD drawing metadata (the active layer) but does not create, delete, or irreversibly alter drawing data itself. It is a reversible configuration change that affects where subsequent operations occur. This is a Write operation—it modifies state but is not destructive, and has low blast radius since it only changes layer context without directly affecting geometry or causing external effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'set_current_layer' and description '设置当前图层。后续绘图操作默认在此图层上进行' (Set current layer. Subsequent drawing operations default to this layer) indicate it modifies the current drawing state by changing the active layer."

## Use case

AI agents use set_current_layer 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.

## 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

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
