WHAT IT DOES

What point_tangent does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call point_tangent 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_tangent is rated Low

This tool performs a geometric computation/calculation, returning tangent point coordinates. It reads/analyzes geometric data without modifying any entities or state. Pure read/query operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

point_tangent Allowed

point_tangent 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_tangent": {}
  }
}

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_tangent call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about point_tangent

What does the point_tangent tool do? +

Compute the tangent point on a circle from an external point. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on point_tangent? +

Register the AutoCAD MCP Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for point_tangent: 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.

What risk level is point_tangent? +

point_tangent is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit point_tangent? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the point_tangent 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.

How do I block point_tangent completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for point_tangent. 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.

What MCP server provides point_tangent? +

point_tangent 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.
