What sch_place_net_label does on Altium-MCP-Suite
AI agents use sch_place_net_label 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_place_net_label is rated Medium
This tool creates/modifies schematic elements (net labels) but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. It is reversible (labels can be removed). While the description is empty, the name clearly indicates a Write operation within the PCB/schematic design domain. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt design intent or require rework, but changes are typically undoable in CAD systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sch_place_net_label' indicates placement of a net label in a schematic (sch_ prefix). Sibling tools confirm this server manages schematic design (app_create_document, app_get_active_document).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sch_place_net_label 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_net_label, this is the rule to start with:
sch_place_net_label 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_place_net_label call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Altium-MCP-Suite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sch_place_net_label: 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.
sch_place_net_label is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sch_place_net_label 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.
