WHAT IT DOES

What point_from_snap does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call point_from_snap to retrieve information from AutoCAD MCP Pro without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why point_from_snap is rated Low

Based on the name alone, 'point_from_snap' likely reads/queries a snap point coordinate from the CAD drawing, which is a read operation. However, the empty description lowers confidence. In AutoCAD contexts, snapping typically retrieves geometry data without side effects. Severity is low as misuse would at most return incorrect coordinates.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'point_from_snap' suggests snapping to a point in the CAD environment; description is empty and uninformative.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

point_from_snap Allowed

point_from_snap is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "point_from_snap": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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