## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "gear_draw_helical_front_view",

  }
}
```

## Why gear_draw_helical_front_view is rated Medium

Based on the server context (AutoCAD automation for drawing creation and entity modification) and the tool name containing 'draw', this tool likely creates or writes CAD entities (a helical gear front view) to a drawing. The empty description lowers confidence. Drawing/creating entities is a Write operation. Severity is medium as misuse could corrupt or pollute a CAD drawing with unwanted geometry.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gear_draw_helical_front_view' suggests drawing/creating a helical gear front view in AutoCAD; description is empty providing no further detail."

## Use case

AI agents use gear_draw_helical_front_view 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
