What linetype_load does on AutoCAD MCP Pro
AI agents use linetype_load 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 linetype_load is rated Medium
Based on the tool name alone, 'linetype_load' likely loads or imports a linetype definition into the current AutoCAD drawing, which is a Write operation (modifying drawing state by adding a resource). Confidence is low due to the empty description — it could also be a Read/lookup operation. Severity is medium as misuse could corrupt drawing linetypes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'linetype_load' suggests loading a linetype resource into the drawing environment. Description is empty and uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs linetype_load 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 linetype_load, this is the rule to start with:
linetype_load 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 linetype_load call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about linetype_load
linetype_load 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 linetype_load: 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.
linetype_load 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 linetype_load 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 linetype_load. 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.
linetype_load 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.
