What drawing_understand does on AutoCAD MCP Pro
AI agents use drawing_understand 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 drawing_understand is rated Medium
An AI agent can call drawing_understand faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in AutoCAD MCP Pro by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs drawing_understand 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_understand, this is the rule to start with:
drawing_understand 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AutoCAD MCP Pro, apply this rule, and every drawing_understand call is checked against it from then on.
