What unload_xref does on Pypi:best Cad
AI agents use unload_xref 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 unload_xref is rated Medium
The tool modifies drawing state by unloading external references—a reversible operation that changes how the drawing loads resources without permanently deleting data or executing arbitrary code. This qualifies as Write rather than Destructive because the link is retained and the action can be undone by reloading the xref.
From the tool's definition unload_xref: 卸载外部参照(保留链接但不加载,提高性能)translates to 'unload external reference (retains link but does not load, improves performance)'. This modifies the state of external references in a CAD drawing by changing their load status.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs unload_xref 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 unload_xref, this is the rule to start with:
unload_xref 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 unload_xref call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about unload_xref
卸载外部参照(保留链接但不加载,提高性能)。. 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 unload_xref: 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.
unload_xref 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 unload_xref 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 unload_xref. 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.
unload_xref 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.
