AI agents use entity_create_text 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.
Creating text entities in AutoCAD drawings is a reversible write operation—the text can be edited or deleted later. It modifies the drawing by adding new content but does not destroy or permanently alter existing data. The empty tool description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention and server context make the write classification appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'entity_create_text' indicates creation of a text entity in AutoCAD. Sibling tools like 'block_create_from_entities' and 'entity_*' pattern confirm this server performs CAD object creation and modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access entity_create_text 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 entity_create_text:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"entity_create_text": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "entity_create_text_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}entity_create_text 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.

entity_create_text. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for entity_create_text: 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.
entity_create_text is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the entity_create_text 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 entity_create_text. 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.
entity_create_text 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.
