WHAT IT DOES

What entity_offset does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents use entity_offset 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.

RISK

Why entity_offset is rated Medium

The tool modifies CAD drawing data by repositioning or transforming entities, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), delete data (Destructive), or move money (Financial). The empty description and reliance on context inference lower confidence slightly.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'entity_offset' in an AutoCAD MCP context implies modification of CAD entities (lines, circles, polygons) by shifting their position or geometry. The server description lists 'entity modification' as a core capability.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

entity_offset Rate-limited

entity_offset 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_offset call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about entity_offset

What does the entity_offset tool do? +

entity_offset 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.

How do I enforce a policy on entity_offset? +

Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for entity_offset: 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.

What risk level is entity_offset? +

entity_offset is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit entity_offset? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the entity_offset 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.

How do I block entity_offset completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for entity_offset. 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.

What MCP server provides entity_offset? +

entity_offset 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.
