WHAT IT DOES

What run_altium_script does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents invoke run_altium_script 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.

RISK

run_altium_script Rate-limited

run_altium_script 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.
