# 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 installation, 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 setup 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.
Read [runtime and licensing](references/runtime-and-licensing.md) before the
first execution or whenever setup, extension availability, or worker failures
are in scope.
## Execute the workflow
1. **Define the contract.** Identify inputs, intended output artifacts, CRS and
units, whether a saved `.aprx` must change, and which operations create,
overwrite, append, or edit data.
2. **Preflight.** Call `health_check` first. Inspect its worker interpreter,
a
