AI agents call get_current_view_info to retrieve information from Revit without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about a Revit view without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal security risk—the information returned is view configuration data that users typically access through normal Revit UI navigation.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_current_view_info' and description states it retrieves 'detailed information' about the current active view including 'view type, name, scale and other properties'.

获取 Revit 当前活动视图的详细信息，包括视图类型、名称、比例等属性。. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Revit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Revit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_current_view_info: 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 Revit. Nothing to install.
get_current_view_info 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 get_current_view_info 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 get_current_view_info. 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.
get_current_view_info is provided by the Revit MCP server (mohamed-elnahla/revit-mcp-github-copilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
