WHAT IT DOES

What view_zoom_window does on AutoCAD MCP Pro

AI agents invoke view_zoom_window to trigger actions in AutoCAD MCP Pro. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why view_zoom_window is rated High

This tool triggers a view manipulation action in AutoCAD (zooming to a specific window region), which is an external operation that changes the application's display state. It doesn't read data, write/modify drawing content, or destroy anything, but it does execute a UI/viewport operation in the CAD environment. Severity is low as it only affects the view with no data impact.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

view_zoom_window Rate-limited

view_zoom_window stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "view_zoom_window": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "view_zoom_window_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT 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 view_zoom_window call is checked against it from then on.
