Automate controlled local ArcGIS Pro and ArcPy workflows through arcgis-mcp-bridge: inspect .aprx projects and file geodatabases, run geoprocessing, projection, raster, network, spatial-statistics, editing, symbology, and layout export with path and mutation guards. Use when the user explicitly names ArcGIS Pro, ArcPy, .aprx, .gdb, Esri geoprocessing, muend/arcgis-mcp-bridge, its health\_check, PathGuard, or confirmation gates, or sketch-to-GIS extraction. Do not trigger for ArcGIS Online or Enterprise administration, QGIS or PyQGIS, generic open-source GIS, or live GUI control of an already-open ArcGIS Pro session.

## From README

ArcGIS Pro Automation Operate saved ArcGIS Pro projects and local GIS datasets through the guarded arcgis-mcp-bridge tool surface. Treat the bridge as an execution backend, not as permission to mutate data or claim a result that was never observed. Establish the boundary Require Windows, a licensed ArcGIS Pro , and a bridge worker interpreter that can import ArcPy for real geoprocessing. Use the bridge for local, headless, repeatable ArcPy work. It does not drive the visible ArcGIS Pro UI and does not administer ArcGIS Online or Enterprise. If the bridge tools are not callable, provide or a dry execution plan. Never simulate tool output or imply that an .aprx or .gdb changed. Use the schemas exposed by the connected MCP server. Tool names may be host- namespaced; match the semantic catalog name and never invent parameters. Keep every read and write inside the configured allowed roots. Use absolute paths and a dedicated scratch geodatabase for intermediate outputs.
