What design_describe_circuits does on Eda Agent
AI agents call design_describe_circuits 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.
Why design_describe_circuits is rated Low
The tool name indicates inspection or description of circuits, which is a read-only operation typical in design analysis. However, the empty description and the fact it is part of a 290+ tool suite for 'autonomous design-plan executor' and 'connectivity-driven auto-placement' leaves some ambiguity about whether it might trigger design modifications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'design_describe_circuits' suggests querying or analyzing circuit descriptions without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs design_describe_circuits 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 design_describe_circuits, this is the rule to start with:
design_describe_circuits is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 design_describe_circuits call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about design_describe_circuits
design_describe_circuits is a read tool on the Eda Agent MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Eda Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for design_describe_circuits: 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 Eda Agent. Nothing to install.
design_describe_circuits is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the design_describe_circuits 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for design_describe_circuits. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
design_describe_circuits is provided by the Eda Agent MCP server (salitronic/eda-agent). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
