WHAT IT DOES

What pcb_export_coordinates does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents use pcb_export_coordinates 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.

RISK

Why pcb_export_coordinates is rated Medium

Export operations are fundamentally Write actions—they create or generate new data artifacts (coordinate files, reports, etc.). While the tool doesn't destructively alter the original design, it does produce new state. The confidence is moderate (0.7) due to the absent description, which prevents verification of exact behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_export_coordinates' suggests extraction and writing of coordinate data from PCB designs. The 'export' operation typically involves generating or writing output artifacts (coordinates file, report, or data structure).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

pcb_export_coordinates Rate-limited

pcb_export_coordinates 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.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Altium-MCP-Suite, apply this rule, and every pcb_export_coordinates call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about pcb_export_coordinates

What does the pcb_export_coordinates tool do? +

pcb_export_coordinates is a write tool on the Altium-MCP-Suite MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Altium-MCP-Suite MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on pcb_export_coordinates? +

Register the Altium-MCP-Suite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pcb_export_coordinates: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Altium-MCP-Suite. Nothing to install.

What risk level is pcb_export_coordinates? +

pcb_export_coordinates is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit pcb_export_coordinates? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_export_coordinates 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_export_coordinates completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pcb_export_coordinates. 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_export_coordinates? +

pcb_export_coordinates 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.
