WHAT IT DOES

What drawing_info does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call drawing_info 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 drawing_info is rated Low

This tool queries and returns metadata about an existing drawing (properties, statistics, configuration) with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a read-only information retrieval operation, consistent with safe analysis tools on the server like 'analysis_bounding_box' and 'analysis_layer_stats'.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'drawing_info' and description 'Get comprehensive metadata for the current drawing' indicate retrieval of drawing properties without modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

drawing_info Allowed

drawing_info 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": {
    "drawing_info": {}
  }
}

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 drawing_info call is checked against it from then on.
