What layer_state_restore does on AutoCAD MCP Pro
AI agents use layer_state_restore 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.
Why layer_state_restore is rated Medium
Restores layer state, modifying drawing reversibly but affecting multiple design elements.
From the tool's definition uninformative description, layer state restore implies modification

The rule that runs layer_state_restore 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_state_restore, this is the rule to start with:
layer_state_restore 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 layer_state_restore call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about layer_state_restore
layer_state_restore 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.
Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for layer_state_restore: 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.
layer_state_restore is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the layer_state_restore 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 layer_state_restore. 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.
layer_state_restore 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.
