What sch_generate_toc does on Altium-MCP-Suite
AI agents use sch_generate_toc 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 sch_generate_toc is rated Medium
The tool appears to create or modify schematic documentation by generating a table of contents. This is a Write operation—it produces new data (the TOC) that modifies the schematic's documentation structure, though reversibly. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt or pollute schematic metadata, but the impact is scoped to documentation rather than core design logic.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sch_generate_toc' suggests generation of table-of-contents for schematic documents. The 'generate' verb and suffix '_toc' indicate creation of a new artifact or document structure modification. Empty description reduces specificity.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sch_generate_toc 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 sch_generate_toc, this is the rule to start with:
sch_generate_toc 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 sch_generate_toc call is checked against it from then on.
