Get all properties of a specific entity by its handle.
AI agents call entity_get to retrieve information from AutoCAD MCP Pro without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query operation on CAD entities. It retrieves data without side effects or the ability to modify, delete, or execute external operations. Even in a production CAD environment, querying entity properties poses minimal risk—the worst outcome is information disclosure about the drawing structure.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'entity_get' and description states it retrieves 'all properties of a specific entity by its handle'. This is a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access entity_get 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_get:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"entity_get": {}
}
}entity_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get all properties of a specific entity by its handle. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for entity_get: 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_get is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the entity_get 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_get. 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_get 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.
Free to start. No card required.
