# get_selected_components_coordinates Get coordinates and positioning information for selected components in Altium layout Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_selected_components_coordinates`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/get-selected-components-coordinates ## Facts - Tool: `get_selected_components_coordinates` - Server: Altium-MCP-Suite (`M-R-Abedini/Altium-MCP-Suite`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite.md - Homepage: https://github.com/M-R-Abedini/Altium-MCP-Suite - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_selected_components_coordinates", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_selected_components_coordinates is rated Low This tool queries and retrieves data about component positions in an Altium PCB layout without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational with no side effects, fitting the Read category. Severity is low since coordinate data exposure carries minimal security or operational risk. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get_' prefix and description states it retrieves 'coordinates and positioning information' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of external operations." ## Use case AI agents call get_selected_components_coordinates 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Altium-MCP-Suite: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_selected_components_coordinates": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Altium-MCP-Suite (816) - `easyeda_clear_findings` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-clear-findings.md - `easyeda_clear_routing` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-clear-routing.md - `easyeda_clear_schematic_selection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-clear-schematic-selection.md - `easyeda_clear_selection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-clear-selection.md - `easyeda_close_document` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-close-document.md - `easyeda_delete_device` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-device.md - `easyeda_delete_footprint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-footprint.md - `easyeda_delete_panel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-panel.md - `easyeda_delete_pcb` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-pcb.md - `easyeda_delete_primitives` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-primitives.md - `easyeda_delete_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-project.md - `easyeda_delete_schematic` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-schematic.md - `easyeda_delete_schematic_page` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-schematic-page.md - `easyeda_delete_schematic_primitives` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-schematic-primitives.md - `easyeda_delete_symbol` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/easyeda-delete-symbol.md - `kicad_delete_component` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/kicad-delete-component.md - `lib_clear_source_library` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/lib-clear-source-library.md - `lib_delete_component` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/lib-delete-component.md - `lib_delete_footprint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/lib-delete-footprint.md - `lib_delete_footprint_primitives` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/lib-delete-footprint-primitives.md - `lib_remove_model` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/lib-remove-model.md - `lib_uninstall_library` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/lib-uninstall-library.md - `obj_batch_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/obj-batch-delete.md - `obj_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/obj-delete.md - `pcb_clear_source_footprint_library` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/pcb-clear-source-footprint-library.md - `pcb_delete_design_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/pcb-delete-design-rule.md - `pcb_delete_invalid_objects` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/pcb-delete-invalid-objects.md - `pcb_delete_net` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/pcb-delete-net.md - `pcb_delete_object` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/pcb-delete-object.md - `pcb_remove_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/pcb-remove-layer.md - …and 786 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
