What set_top does on Adr Fpga Bootstrap
AI agents use set_top to create or update resources in Adr Fpga Bootstrap, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Adr Fpga Bootstrap environment.
Why set_top is rated Medium
An AI agent can call set_top faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Adr Fpga Bootstrap by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_top safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Adr Fpga Bootstrap, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For set_top, this is the rule to start with:
set_top stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adr Fpga Bootstrap, apply this rule, and every set_top call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about set_top
Set the top module/entity on the current source fileset. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Adr Fpga Bootstrap MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Adr Fpga Bootstrap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_top: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Adr Fpga Bootstrap. Nothing to install.
set_top is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_top rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_top. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
set_top is provided by the Adr Fpga Bootstrap MCP server (zxyyz/adr-fpga-bootstrap). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
