What app_save_all does on Altium-MCP-Suite
AI agents use app_save_all to create or update resources in Altium-MCP-Suite, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Altium-MCP-Suite environment.
Why app_save_all is rated Medium
The tool saves all open documents in Altium Designer, which is a reversible data modification (files can be reverted, undone, or deleted). While it persists state to disk, it is not destructive or destructive-only—saved files remain available and the operation can be mitigated. This is Write rather than Execute because it is a high-level persistence action without arbitrary code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'app_save_all' indicates a save operation, which modifies or persists data. The empty description limits specificity, but 'save' is a classic Write operation.

The rule that runs app_save_all safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Altium-MCP-Suite, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For app_save_all, this is the rule to start with:
app_save_all 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 Altium-MCP-Suite, apply this rule, and every app_save_all call is checked against it from then on.
