WHAT IT DOES

What design_generate_bom does on Eda Agent

AI agents use design_generate_bom 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.

RISK

Why design_generate_bom is rated Medium

BOM generation is a write operation—it produces new data artifacts (the BOM document/file) that are reversible (can be regenerated or deleted). However, the empty description introduces uncertainty about exact behavior: it could be read-only (merely extracting existing BOM data) or write-focused (materializing a new BOM export).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'design_generate_bom' indicates generation of a Bill of Materials artifact, which is a derived data product.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs design_generate_bom 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_generate_bom, this is the rule to start with:

design_generate_bom Rate-limited

design_generate_bom 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.

Questions about design_generate_bom

What does the design_generate_bom tool do? +

design_generate_bom is a write tool on the Eda Agent MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Eda Agent MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on design_generate_bom? +

Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for design_generate_bom: 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.

What risk level is design_generate_bom? +

Can I rate-limit design_generate_bom? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the design_generate_bom 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.

How do I block design_generate_bom completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for design_generate_bom. 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.
