dimension_radius

What dimension_radius does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents use dimension_radius 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.

Why dimension_radius is rated Medium

Dimension tools in AutoCAD create or modify drawing entities (dimensions are objects with properties like text, placement, and references). This is reversible (dimensions can be deleted) but changes the drawing file state. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the tool name and server context (drawing creation, entity modification) place this clearly in Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'dimension_radius' within AutoCAD MCP Pro context; sibling tools include 'block_create_from_entities', 'block_explode', and entity/layer modification capabilities. Dimension creation in AutoCAD modifies drawing state by adding annotation objects.

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

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dimension_radius": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "dimension_radius_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
