# get_symbol_placement_rules Get schematic symbol placement rules from a local configuration file Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_symbol_placement_rules`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/altium-mcp-suite/get-symbol-placement-rules ## Facts - Tool: `get_symbol_placement_rules` - 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_symbol_placement_rules", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_symbol_placement_rules is rated Low This tool queries and retrieves symbol placement rules from a configuration file. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, modifications, or external actions. The data retrieved is configuration metadata used to inform design decisions, not sensitive project data that would create significant blast radius if exposed to an AI agent. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'get_' and description states 'Get schematic symbol placement rules from a local configuration file' — retrieves configuration data without modification." ## Use case AI agents call get_symbol_placement_rules 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_symbol_placement_rules": {} } } ``` ## 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.
