How to control draw_text ↓

AI agents use draw_text to create or update resources in AutoCAD MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AutoCAD MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates a new text object in an AutoCAD drawing. It is a Write operation as it adds/modifies drawing content reversibly (text can be deleted or edited afterward). No code execution, financial transaction, or irreversible destruction is involved. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt or clutter technical drawings, but effects are reversible.

From the tool's definition 绘制单行文字 (Draw single-line text) — creates a new text entity in the AutoCAD drawing at specified coordinates with defined properties

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access draw_text gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AutoCAD MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for draw_text:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "draw_text": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "draw_text_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

draw_text stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register AutoCAD MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the draw_text tool do? +

绘制单行文字 Args: text_string: 文字内容 insert_x, insert_y: 插入点坐标 height: 文字高度 rotation: 旋转角度 (度) layer: 图层名称. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AutoCAD MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on draw_text? +

Register the AutoCAD MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for draw_text: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches AutoCAD MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is draw_text? +

draw_text is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit draw_text? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the draw_text rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block draw_text completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for draw_text. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides draw_text? +

draw_text is provided by the AutoCAD MCP Server MCP server (zh19980811/easy-mcp-autocad). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every AutoCAD MCP Server tool call.
