What analysis_list_properties does on AutoCAD MCP Pro
AI agents call analysis_list_properties 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_list_properties is rated Low
Retrieves read-only CAD entity properties without modification or side effects.
From the tool's definition full DXF attribute set for one handle
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs analysis_list_properties 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_list_properties, this is the rule to start with:
analysis_list_properties 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_list_properties call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about analysis_list_properties
AutoCAD's LIST: the full DXF attribute set for one handle. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analysis_list_properties: 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 Pro. Nothing to install.
analysis_list_properties 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 analysis_list_properties 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 analysis_list_properties. 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.
analysis_list_properties is provided by the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server (u-c4n/autocad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
