obj_query

What obj_query does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents call obj_query 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.

Why obj_query is rated Low

The 'query' nomenclature strongly suggests read-only data retrieval. However, the empty description reduces confidence. Given the context of an Altium design automation server with 290+ tools spanning schematic, PCB, and library operations, a query function most likely retrieves design object properties or metadata. No evidence suggests side effects, data modification, or execution of external commands.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'obj_query' indicates a query operation; description is empty, limiting certainty. In the context of Altium Designer automation, 'query' typically retrieves object properties or design data without modification.

The rule that runs obj_query 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_query, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "obj_query": {}
  }
}
