What design_job_start does on Eda Agent
AI agents invoke design_job_start 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_job_start is rated High
Tool likely triggers automated design operations with unpredictable side effects on PCB/schematic files.
From the tool's definition uninformative description; design_job_start suggests triggering autonomous design execution

The rule that runs design_job_start 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_job_start, this is the rule to start with:
design_job_start 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_job_start call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about design_job_start
design_job_start is a execute tool on the Eda Agent MCP server. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Eda Agent MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for design_job_start: 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_job_start 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_job_start 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_job_start. 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_job_start 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.
