MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Eda tools

Destructive · High kicad.delete_component Deleting a component from a schematic is an irreversible action that cannot be undone through normal tool operations. Execute · Medium kicad.fill_zones This tool triggers a PCB layout operation (zone filling) that modifies the board state by computing and filling copper pour zones. Execute · Medium kicad.run_drc The tool name 'run_drc' strongly implies executing a Design Rule Check (DRC), which is a read/analysis operation that scans the PCB design for rule violations. Execute · Medium kicad.run_erc ERC (Electrical Rules Check) is a standard KiCad operation that runs a validation/analysis pass over the schematic.

30 of Eda's 39 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

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "kicad.delete_component": {
    "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

{
  "kicad.add_component": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "kicad.add_component_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "kicad.design_summary": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "kicad.design_summary_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

FAQ

Questions about Eda

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

Yes. The Eda server exposes 1 destructive tools including kicad.delete_component. 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? +

The Eda server has 26 write tools including kicad.add_component, kicad.add_global_label, kicad.add_line. 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.

How many tools does the Eda MCP server expose? +

39 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 9 are read-only. 30 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Eda? +

Register the Eda 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 tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 39 Eda tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
