## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why pcb_place_stitching_vias is rated Medium

The tool name implies placing (creating) stitching vias on a PCB layout, which is a write/create operation that modifies the PCB design. However, the description is empty, so confidence is reduced. Placing vias is reversible (they can be deleted), so Write is the appropriate category rather than Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'pcb_place_stitching_vias' — 'place' suggests creating/adding stitching vias to a PCB design."

## Use case

AI agents use pcb_place_stitching_vias 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.
