WHAT IT DOES

What get_component_pins does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents call get_component_pins 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 get_component_pins is rated Low

This tool appears to retrieve component pin information from an Altium project without modifying any data. The 'get_' prefix and sibling tools like 'get_all_component_property_names' and 'get_component_data' confirm a read-only pattern. While the description is empty (reducing confidence slightly), the semantic intent is clearly data retrieval with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_component_pins' follows the 'get_' prefix pattern, indicating data retrieval. The empty description prevents explicit confirmation, but the verb 'get' and naming convention align with query operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

get_component_pins Allowed

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