WHAT IT DOES

What sch_place_line does on Altium-MCP-Suite

AI agents use sch_place_line 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 sch_place_line is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies schematic elements (line placement) within a persistent design document. This is a reversible write operation—lines can be deleted or moved—but lacks destructive finality. Although the description is empty, the name and server context (schematic automation) make the intent clear.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sch_place_line' indicates placement of a schematic line element. Within the Altium Designer automation context (290+ tools for schematic, PCB, library & project automation), this performs a creation/modification operation on schematic design data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sch_place_line 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_place_line, this is the rule to start with:

sch_place_line Rate-limited

sch_place_line 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.
