What proj_lock_designator does on Altium-MCP-Suite

Why proj_lock_designator is rated Medium

The tool name indicates a state modification (locking) of designators (component identifiers) in a project context. This is a reversible Write operation—designators can be unlocked later. While the empty description limits certainty, the naming convention and server context (persistent DelphiScript bridge for design automation) suggest it modifies project data rather than executing arbitrary code or deleting data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_lock_designator' suggests modifying designator lock state in Altium Designer projects. Given the server's scope (290+ design automation tools), this likely creates or modifies designator locking metadata reversibly.
