MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Eda Agent tools

Destructive · High lib_uninstall_library Unregistering/uninstalling a library from the design environment is a destructive action that removes configuration state and availability. Destructive · High obj_batch_delete The name 'obj_batch_delete' clearly indicates bulk deletion of objects without ability to undo within the tool itself. Destructive · High obj_delete The name 'obj_delete' strongly implies an irreversible deletion operation. Destructive · High pcb_clear_source_footprint_library The word 'clear' in the tool name implies removing or wiping data (footprint library references) from a PCB design, which is typically irreversible.

219 of Eda Agent's 345 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Eda Agent

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Eda Agent, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "lib_uninstall_library": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "app_create_document": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "app_create_document_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "app_diag_workspace": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "app_diag_workspace_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Eda Agent — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Eda Agent

Can an AI agent delete data through the Eda Agent MCP server? +

Yes. The Eda Agent server exposes 12 destructive tools including lib_uninstall_library, obj_batch_delete, obj_delete. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Eda Agent? +

The Eda Agent server has 182 write tools including app_create_document, app_detach, app_ping. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Eda Agent.

How many tools does the Eda Agent MCP server expose? +

345 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 126 are read-only. 219 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Eda Agent? +

Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Eda Agent tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 345 Eda Agent tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
