WHAT IT DOES

What dimension_diameter does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents use dimension_diameter to create or update resources in AutoCAD MCP Pro, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AutoCAD MCP Pro environment.

RISK

Why dimension_diameter is rated Medium

The tool appears to create or modify dimension annotations in AutoCAD drawings. Dimensions are modifiable drawing elements (Write category), not destructive operations. The severity is medium because misuse could corrupt or clutter drawings but changes are reversible through undo/deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'dimension_diameter' combined with sibling tools like 'block_create_from_entities' and 'entity modification' capabilities indicate drawing modification operations. The server description explicitly mentions 'entity modification' as a core capability.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

dimension_diameter Rate-limited

dimension_diameter stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
