## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "drawing_export_pdf",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why drawing_export_pdf is rated Medium

PDF export creates or writes output file(s) containing drawing data—a reversible Write operation (the original drawing remains unmodified and the export can be deleted). This is not Destructive (no deletion of original), not Execute (no arbitrary command execution, though file output occurs), not Read (produces new artifact).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'drawing_export_pdf' indicates conversion/export of CAD drawing data to PDF format. No description provided."

## Use case

AI agents use drawing_export_pdf 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches AutoCAD MCP Pro:

```json
