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.

Medium Risk

Why linetype_load needs a policy

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.

How to control linetype_load

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 linetype_load:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "linetype_load": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "linetype_load_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.

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