What obj_create does on Altium-MCP-Suite
AI agents use obj_create 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 obj_create is rated Medium
The tool name 'obj_create' suggests creating design objects (schematic components, PCB elements, library items) within Altium Designer. This is a Write operation—reversible creation of project data. Confidence is moderate (0.70) because the empty description prevents full certainty; however, 'create' is semantically clear in a design automation context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'obj_create' combined with server context showing '290+ tools for schematic, PCB, library & project automation' indicates object creation capability. Description is empty, limiting specificity.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs obj_create 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 obj_create, this is the rule to start with:
obj_create 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 obj_create call is checked against it from then on.
