WHAT IT DOES

What selection_get does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call selection_get 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 selection_get is rated Low

The tool appears to query or retrieve the current selection in AutoCAD, which is a read operation with no side effects. Low severity because selection data retrieval poses minimal risk of harm. Confidence is moderate (0.7) due to empty description—if this tool actually modified selection or triggered operations, it could be Execute instead, but the name and sibling context suggest read-only behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'selection_get' and context of sibling tools ('analysis_*', 'selection_*') indicate a query/retrieval operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

selection_get Allowed

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

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 selection_get call is checked against it from then on.
