What construction_clear does on AutoCAD MCP Pro
AI agents call construction_clear to permanently remove resources in AutoCAD MCP Pro, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why construction_clear is rated Critical
This tool irreversibly removes all entities from a specified layer, destroying data that cannot be recovered without undo. While scoped to the CONSTRUCTION layer, the operation is permanent and affects all objects on that layer simultaneously. This is a destructive action (delete operation) rather than merely a write or execute operation, placing it in the Destructive category.
From the tool's definition Delete every entity on the CONSTRUCTION layer.

The rule that runs construction_clear 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 construction_clear, this is the rule to start with:
construction_clear is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AutoCAD MCP Pro, apply this rule, and every construction_clear call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about construction_clear
Delete every entity on the CONSTRUCTION layer. Idempotent. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for construction_clear: 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.
construction_clear is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the construction_clear 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 construction_clear. 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.
construction_clear 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.
