WHAT IT DOES

What pcb_delete_net does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents call pcb_delete_net to permanently remove resources in Altium-MCP-Suite, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why pcb_delete_net is rated Critical

Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the tool name explicitly indicates deletion of a PCB net. Net deletion in circuit design is an irreversible operation that destroys design intent and connectivity data. This matches the Destructive category definition. The moderate-to-high confidence reflects the clear naming signal despite absent description details.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_delete_net' contains the verb 'delete', which is characteristic of destructive operations. In the context of PCB design automation, deleting a net removes electrical connectivity definitions that are core design artifacts and cannot be…

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

pcb_delete_net Hidden

pcb_delete_net is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

What risk level is pcb_delete_net? +

pcb_delete_net is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit pcb_delete_net? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_delete_net rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block pcb_delete_net completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pcb_delete_net. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides pcb_delete_net? +

pcb_delete_net is provided by the Altium-MCP-Suite MCP server (M-R-Abedini/Altium-MCP-Suite). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
