What turn_off_layer does on Pypi:best Cad
AI agents use turn_off_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.
Why turn_off_layer is rated Medium
This tool modifies the visibility property of a CAD layer, which is a reversible change to drawing state. It does not delete data (would be Destructive) nor execute arbitrary code (would be Execute). The change can be undone by turning the layer back on.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'turn_off_layer' and description indicating the layer is hidden but still participates in regeneration calculations. This modifies layer visibility state in the CAD drawing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs turn_off_layer 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 turn_off_layer, this is the rule to start with:
turn_off_layer 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 turn_off_layer call is checked against it from then on.

关闭图层(不可见但参与重生成计算)。. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pypi:best Cad MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Pypi:best Cad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for turn_off_layer: 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.
turn_off_layer is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the turn_off_layer 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 turn_off_layer. 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.
turn_off_layer 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.
