What draw_polyline does on AutoCAD MCP Server

AI agents call draw_polyline to retrieve information from AutoCAD MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why draw_polyline needs a policy

Even though draw_polyline only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
