Run an integrity audit on the drawing to detect and fix errors.
AI agents invoke drawing_audit to trigger actions in AutoCAD MCP Pro. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
While 'audit' might sound passive, the description explicitly states the tool 'detects and fixes errors,' making it an active operation that modifies the drawing. This is Execute rather than Read (which would only detect, not fix) or Write (too narrow—the scope of fixes applied by an audit process can be extensive and context-dependent).
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'audit' and 'detect and fix errors' on drawings—these are active operations that modify drawing state and structure.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access drawing_audit gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AutoCAD MCP Pro, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for drawing_audit:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"drawing_audit": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "drawing_audit_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}drawing_audit stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Run an integrity audit on the drawing to detect and fix errors. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for drawing_audit: 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.
drawing_audit is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the drawing_audit 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 drawing_audit. 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.
drawing_audit 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.
Start from AutoCAD MCP Pro, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
