What entity_edit_text does on AutoCAD MCP Pro
AI agents use entity_edit_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.
Why entity_edit_text is rated Medium
This tool modifies existing text content in CAD drawings, which is a Write operation (reversible change). Severity is medium because unintended text modifications could corrupt engineering documents or designs, affecting downstream work, but changes are not irreversible. Confidence is 0.75 rather than higher because the description is empty; judgment relies on name parsing and server context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'entity_edit_text' indicates modification of text entities in AutoCAD drawings. Sibling tools show this server performs entity modification and drawing manipulation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs entity_edit_text 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 entity_edit_text, this is the rule to start with:
entity_edit_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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AutoCAD MCP Pro, apply this rule, and every entity_edit_text call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about entity_edit_text
entity_edit_text is a write tool on the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server. 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_edit_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_edit_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_edit_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_edit_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_edit_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.
