What design_execute_plan does on Eda Agent
AI agents invoke design_execute_plan to trigger actions in Eda Agent. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why design_execute_plan is rated High
This tool appears to execute design automation plans in Altium Designer via a persistent scripting bridge. The lack of explicit description limits confidence, but 'execute' combined with 'plan' and the server's emphasis on autonomous execution indicates this runs code or workflows with effects dependent on plan content.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'execute' and 'plan'; described as part of '290+ tools for...autonomous design-plan executor' in server description.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs design_execute_plan 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_execute_plan, this is the rule to start with:
design_execute_plan stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 design_execute_plan call is checked against it from then on.

design_execute_plan is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the design_execute_plan 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_execute_plan. 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.
