What sch_place_compile_mask does on Altium-MCP-Suite
AI agents invoke sch_place_compile_mask 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 sch_place_compile_mask is rated High
sch_place_compile_mask triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
