What analysis_entity_stats does on AutoCAD MCP Pro
AI agents call analysis_entity_stats to retrieve information from AutoCAD MCP Pro without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why analysis_entity_stats is rated Low
This tool only reads and analyzes existing drawing data, returning statistical information about entity counts. It performs no modifications, deletions, or executions. The blast radius if misused is minimal since it only queries data.

The rule that runs analysis_entity_stats safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AutoCAD MCP Pro, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For analysis_entity_stats, this is the rule to start with:
analysis_entity_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AutoCAD MCP Pro, apply this rule, and every analysis_entity_stats call is checked against it from then on.
