query_and_highlight

THE RISK

High Risk

This tool executes an arbitrary SQL query against a data source and then performs an AutoCAD operation (highlighting entities) based on the results. The SQL execution component means arbitrary queries can be run (potentially including destructive statements), and the AutoCAD interaction constitutes an external operation.

HOW TO CONTROL QUERY_AND_HIGHLIGHT

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 query_and_highlight:

policy.json

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

query_and_highlight 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.

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

FAQ

What does the query_and_highlight tool do? +

根据SQL查询结果高亮显示AutoCAD实体 Args: sql_query: 必须是返回handle列的SQL查询 highlight_color: 高亮颜色码（1-255）. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AutoCAD MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on query_and_highlight? +

Register the AutoCAD MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_and_highlight: 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 query_and_highlight? +

query_and_highlight is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit query_and_highlight? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the query_and_highlight 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 query_and_highlight completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for query_and_highlight. 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 query_and_highlight? +

query_and_highlight 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.
