WHAT IT DOES

What app_get_active_document does on Eda Agent

AI agents call app_get_active_document to retrieve information from Eda Agent without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why app_get_active_document is rated Low

The 'get_' prefix strongly implies a read-only retrieval of document metadata or state. No evidence of side effects, data modification, code execution, deletion, or financial impact. The tool queries application state to return information about which document is currently active in Altium Designer.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'app_get_active_document' indicates a retrieval operation with the 'get' verb. Description is empty, but the naming convention suggests querying the currently active document state without modification.
