What proj_export_netlist does on Altium-MCP-Suite
AI agents use proj_export_netlist 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.
Why proj_export_netlist is rated Medium
Exporting a netlist creates/generates output data (a file artifact) from design state, classifying it as a Write operation. The severity is medium because netlists are output files used downstream in manufacturing/simulation workflows—corruption or malicious modification could disrupt those processes, but the primary project data remains intact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_export_netlist' indicates export of netlists, which are generated/written artifacts from a PCB design project. No description provided, but export operations typically create output files.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proj_export_netlist 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 proj_export_netlist, this is the rule to start with:
proj_export_netlist 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Altium-MCP-Suite, apply this rule, and every proj_export_netlist call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about proj_export_netlist
proj_export_netlist 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.
Register the Altium-MCP-Suite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for proj_export_netlist: 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.
proj_export_netlist is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the proj_export_netlist 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for proj_export_netlist. 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.
proj_export_netlist 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.
