WHAT IT DOES

What system_status does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call system_status 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 system_status is rated Low

This is a diagnostic read operation that queries system state without side effects. It does not modify data, execute code, delete resources, or commit financial transactions. The minimal information exposure (server/connection status) poses low risk even if accessed by unauthorized agents.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves server status and connection state; name is 'system_status' and description explicitly states 'Get full status' with no modification, deletion, or execution of external commands.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

system_status Allowed

system_status 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": {
    "system_status": {}
  }
}

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 system_status call is checked against it from then on.
