Why keyway_draw_section needs a policy

The tool name strongly suggests creating or drawing a keyway section in AutoCAD, which modifies the CAD drawing reversibly. This fits the Write category—it creates or adds geometry to the model. While AutoCAD operations can have precision/design implications, the action itself is reversible (undo/edit).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'keyway_draw_section' indicates drawing/creation of CAD geometry (section). Sibling tools like 'block_create_from_entities' and 'analysis_bounding_box' confirm this server modifies drawings. Description is empty, limiting confidence.

POLICY

How to control keyway_draw_section

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 keyway_draw_section:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "keyway_draw_section": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "keyway_draw_section_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

keyway_draw_section 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.

Create a free account and register AutoCAD MCP Pro — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about keyway_draw_section

What does the keyway_draw_section tool do? +

keyway_draw_section. 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 keyway_draw_section? +

Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for keyway_draw_section: 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 keyway_draw_section? +

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

Can I rate-limit keyway_draw_section? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the keyway_draw_section 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 keyway_draw_section completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for keyway_draw_section. 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 keyway_draw_section? +

keyway_draw_section 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.

Enforce policy on every AutoCAD MCP Pro tool call.

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.
