AI agents use create_text to create or update resources in AutoCAD MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AutoCAD MCP Server environment.
This tool creates new text entities in an AutoCAD document. While this modifies the drawing, it is reversible (entities can be deleted) and does not destroy or overwrite existing data. It is not code execution, financial, or destructive in nature. Classification as Write is appropriate for tools that create or add new content to a document.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_text' and description states it will 'Create text in AutoCAD with optional color', indicating a creation operation that modifies the drawing document.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_text gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AutoCAD MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_text:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_text": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_text_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_text 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.

Create text in AutoCAD with optional color. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AutoCAD MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the AutoCAD MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_text: 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 AutoCAD MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_text 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 create_text 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 create_text. 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.
create_text is provided by the AutoCAD MCP Server MCP server (thepiruthvirajan/autocad-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
