WHAT IT DOES

What analysis_measure_distance does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call analysis_measure_distance 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.

RISK

Why analysis_measure_distance is rated Low

This tool performs a pure geometric calculation, computing the distance between two points. It reads/computes data with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations triggered.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs analysis_measure_distance 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_measure_distance, this is the rule to start with:

analysis_measure_distance Allowed

analysis_measure_distance 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_measure_distance call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about analysis_measure_distance

What does the analysis_measure_distance tool do? +

Measure the Euclidean distance between two points. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on analysis_measure_distance? +

Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analysis_measure_distance: 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.

Can I rate-limit analysis_measure_distance? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the analysis_measure_distance 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.

How do I block analysis_measure_distance completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for analysis_measure_distance. 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.

What MCP server provides analysis_measure_distance? +

analysis_measure_distance 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.
