MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Siglent Sds tools

Execute · Medium configure_acquisition This tool triggers external operations on physical lab equipment (oscilloscope), changing its acquisition state and hardware configuration. Execute · Medium connect This tool establishes a TCP network connection to an external physical device (oscilloscope). Execute · High scpi_command This tool executes arbitrary SCPI commands on the oscilloscope with no restrictions. Execute · High scpi_query This tool sends arbitrary SCPI commands to a physical oscilloscope.

6 of Siglent Sds's 13 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Siglent Sds

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

Rate limit write operations

{
  "configure_channel": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "configure_channel_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_acquisition_status": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_acquisition_status_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 Siglent Sds — 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.

FULL CATALOGUE

All 13 Siglent Sds tools

EXECUTE 4 tools

Execute configure_acquisition Control acquisition state and configure timebase/trigger settings. Use Execute connect Connect to a Siglent oscilloscope over TCP. Returns device identification on success. Execute scpi_command Send an arbitrary SCPI command to the oscilloscope (no response expected). Use this as an escape hatch for com Execute scpi_query Send an arbitrary SCPI query to the oscilloscope and return the response. Use this as an escape hatch for comm

WRITE 2 tools

Write configure_channel Configure an analog channel Write disconnect Disconnect from the oscilloscope.

READ 7 tools

Read get_acquisition_status Get the current acquisition state including sample rate, memory depth, timebase, trigger configuration, and ac Read get_channel Query the configuration of an analog channel. Returns volts/div, offset, coupling, bandwidth limit, trace on/o Read get_waveform Download waveform data from a channel. Returns voltage and time arrays reconstructed from the raw oscilloscope Read identify Query the oscilloscope identification (IDN?). Returns manufacturer, model, serial number, and firmware version Read measure Take a measurement on a channel. Common parameters: PKPK (peak-to-peak), FREQ (frequency), RMS, MEAN, RISE (ri Read measure_statistics Control measurement statistics. Turn statistics on/off, reset them, or read the statistical values (current, m Read screenshot Capture the oscilloscope screen as a PNG image. Returns a base64-encoded image.

FAQ

Questions about Siglent Sds

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Siglent Sds? +

The Siglent Sds server has 2 write tools including configure_channel, disconnect. 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 Siglent Sds.

How many tools does the Siglent Sds MCP server expose? +

13 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 7 are read-only. 6 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Siglent Sds? +

Register the Siglent Sds 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 Siglent Sds tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 13 Siglent Sds tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
