What app_create_document does on Eda Agent
AI agents use app_create_document to create or update resources in Eda Agent, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Eda Agent environment.
Why app_create_document is rated Medium
This tool creates or instantiates new data/documents within Altium Designer, which is a reversible action (documents can be deleted). While the description is empty, the name and server context strongly indicate document creation capability. Assigned to Write rather than Execute because the primary effect is data creation, not arbitrary code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'app_create_document' indicates creation of a new document within Altium Designer. In the context of a 290+ tool suite for 'schematic, PCB, library & project automation,' creating documents directly modifies the design workspace state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs app_create_document safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Eda Agent, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For app_create_document, this is the rule to start with:
app_create_document 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 Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every app_create_document call is checked against it from then on.
