What bom_extract does on AutoCAD MCP Pro
AI agents call bom_extract 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 bom_extract is rated Low
Tool extracts data from CAD drawings without modifying or executing external operations.
From the tool's definition uninformative description; BOM extraction typically retrieves bill-of-materials data from drawings.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs bom_extract 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 bom_extract, this is the rule to start with:
bom_extract 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 bom_extract call is checked against it from then on.
