Return a structured JSON summary of a drawing in any supported format (DXF or PDF), detected from its bytes rather than its name. Use this when you do not know which format you have; the reply names the format that was read. Covers the whole drawing by default, including every page of a multi-page PDF; pass `space` (a name from the reply's `spaces`) to scope it to one page or sheet. When the user wants to see or explore the drawing themselves, prefer view_dxf (interactive viewer) — if your platform gates it behind user approval, offer it and ask rather than substituting a static render.
A publicly reachable http(s) URL, or inline DXF text. A PDF is binary, so it must be a URL — inline PDF bytes are refused. (This is a hosted server — local file paths are not available; use the npx @aspicio/mcp local server for files on disk.)
Which space to work on: "Model" (a PDF's page 1, a DXF's model space) or a page/layout name as listed in a describe reply's "spaces". Describe omits it for the whole drawing; render defaults to the first space.

}Return a structured JSON summary of a DXF drawing — units, bounding box, layers (with the color actually drawn), per-type entity counts, and any skipped/unsupported types. Use this to answer structural questions (what layers exist, how many parts, what size, is it to scale) without rendering an image. For a PDF use describe_pdf; if you do not know the format, use describe_doc.

}Render a drawing in any supported format (DXF or PDF) to a PNG you can look at, detected from its bytes rather than its name. Use this when you do not know which format you have. Renders the first page/sheet by default; pass `space` (a name from a describe reply's `spaces`) to render another one. Some chat UIs do not display the returned image to the user: for URL sources the result also includes a direct image link — show it (e.g. as a markdown image) when they need to see the render. When the user wants to see or explore the drawing themselves, prefer view_dxf (interactive viewer) — if your platform gates it behind user approval, offer it and ask rather than substituting a static render.

}
}
}Render a DXF drawing to a PNG image you can look at. Use this to answer visual questions (what does it look like, where is a feature, does it look right) — it returns an image, not text. For structural facts, prefer describe_dxf. For a PDF use render_pdf; if you do not know the format, use render_doc. Renders the first page/sheet by default; pass `space` (a name from a describe reply's `spaces`) to render another one.

}
}
}Render a PDF drawing's vector content to a PNG you can look at. Images, shadings, and transparency are not drawn — they are reported by describe_pdf — so this shows line work and text, not a page facsimile. For a DXF use render_dxf; if you do not know the format, use render_doc. Renders the first page/sheet by default; pass `space` (a name from a describe reply's `spaces`) to render another one.

}
}
}Open an interactive viewer the user can pan, zoom, and toggle layers in (renders in-chat on MCP Apps-capable hosts). Reads DXF and vector PDF; for a PDF it shows line work and text rather than a page facsimile, so images, shadings, and transparency are absent by design. Use this when the user wants to see or explore the drawing themselves; for your own analysis use a describe_* tool (facts) or a render_* tool (image). The viewer shows only the drawing from this call. Delivery is handled by the widget itself: small drawings are embedded in the result and larger URL-sourced drawings are fetched by the widget through its own tool call — never re-fetch or inline the file for the viewer's sake, and don't blind-retry if the user reports an empty viewer (the viewer posts its actual status back to the conversation context).
