What proj_run_outjob does on Altium-MCP-Suite
AI agents invoke proj_run_outjob to trigger actions in Altium-MCP-Suite. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why proj_run_outjob is rated High
Outjobs in Altium Designer trigger automated manufacturing output generation, design exports, and batch processing operations. Without explicit description, the name alone strongly suggests code/process execution rather than simple data retrieval. The blast radius is high: misconfigured outjob execution could generate incorrect manufacturing files, overwrite outputs, or trigger unintended batch operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_run_outjob' combined with server context of 290+ automation tools for Altium Designer (schematic/PCB/library/project automation over DelphiScript bridge).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proj_run_outjob 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_run_outjob, this is the rule to start with:
proj_run_outjob stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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_run_outjob call is checked against it from then on.
