WHAT IT DOES

What layer_delete does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call layer_delete to permanently remove resources in AutoCAD MCP Pro, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why layer_delete is rated Critical

Layer deletion in CAD systems is destructive: it removes layer definitions and potentially affects all entities assigned to that layer, and this action cannot be undone programmatically. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly from 0.95 to 0.92), the explicit 'delete' verb in the tool name leaves no doubt.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'layer_delete' unambiguously indicates deletion of CAD layers. No description provided, but the name and function within an AutoCAD automation context clearly denote irreversible removal of data structures.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

layer_delete Hidden

layer_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AutoCAD MCP Pro, apply this rule, and every layer_delete call is checked against it from then on.
