WHAT IT DOES

What block_get_attributes does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call block_get_attributes 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 block_get_attributes is rated Low

The 'get_' prefix and context of sibling tools (analysis_*, block_explode which decomposes) indicate this retrieves attribute data from AutoCAD block objects without modifying state. Absence of description lowers confidence slightly, but the read semantics are clear from nomenclature. No write, execute, or destructive operations are implied.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'block_get_attributes' suggests retrieval of block attributes; naming convention aligns with read-only query patterns on this server (analysis_*, block_explode). No description provided.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

block_get_attributes Allowed

block_get_attributes is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AutoCAD MCP Pro, apply this rule, and every block_get_attributes call is checked against it from then on.
