WHAT IT DOES

What template_list does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents call template_list 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 template_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata about existing layer templates in an AutoCAD drawing without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation analogous to a list or get command. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only view template information, not alter designs or drawings.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'template_list' and description 'List all available layer templates and their contents' clearly indicates a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

template_list Allowed

template_list 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": {
    "template_list": {}
  }
}

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 template_list call is checked against it from then on.
