WHAT IT DOES

What proj_set_parameter does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents use proj_set_parameter 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.

RISK

Why proj_set_parameter is rated Medium

This tool modifies project-level parameters in Altium Designer, which is a reversible change (parameters can be updated or reverted). It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or merely read data (Read).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_set_parameter' and description 'Set a project-level parameter' indicate creation or modification of project configuration data. The verb 'set' is a classic Write operation that alters state reversibly.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs proj_set_parameter 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_set_parameter, this is the rule to start with:

proj_set_parameter Rate-limited

proj_set_parameter 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.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Altium-MCP-Suite, apply this rule, and every proj_set_parameter call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about proj_set_parameter

What does the proj_set_parameter tool do? +

Set a project-level parameter. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on proj_set_parameter? +

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

proj_set_parameter is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit proj_set_parameter? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the proj_set_parameter 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 proj_set_parameter completely? +

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

proj_set_parameter 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.
