WHAT IT DOES

What check_orientation does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents call check_orientation to retrieve information from Altium-MCP-Suite without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why check_orientation is rated Low

The name indicates a checking/validation operation typical of Read operations (no side effects). The empty description lowers confidence, but context from related tools (predominantly inspection and retrieval operations) supports classification as Read. No evidence of data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_orientation' suggests inspection or verification of component orientation without modification.

check_orientation Allowed

check_orientation is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
