WHAT IT DOES

What pcb_remove_teardrops does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents call pcb_remove_teardrops 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_remove_teardrops is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly removes teardrops from the entire PCB board. The 'board-wide' scope means it affects all teardrops across the entire design in one operation, making it a broad destructive action that modifies PCB geometry. While teardrops can potentially be re-added, the removal itself is a destructive modification to the design data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

pcb_remove_teardrops Hidden

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

Questions about pcb_remove_teardrops

What does the pcb_remove_teardrops tool do? +

Remove teardrops board-wide. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Altium-MCP-Suite MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on pcb_remove_teardrops? +

Register the Altium-MCP-Suite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pcb_remove_teardrops: 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_remove_teardrops? +

Can I rate-limit pcb_remove_teardrops? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_remove_teardrops 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_remove_teardrops completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pcb_remove_teardrops. 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_remove_teardrops? +

pcb_remove_teardrops 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.
