WHAT IT DOES

What data_extract does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call data_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.

RISK

Why data_extract is rated Low

Data extraction typically retrieves information without modifying drawings; consistent with analysis-focused tool patterns.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

data_extract Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "data_extract": {}
  }
}

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 data_extract call is checked against it from then on.
