WHAT IT DOES

What design_session_start does on Eda Agent

AI agents invoke design_session_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.

RISK

Why design_session_start is rated High

Starts a design session; likely triggers external operations with side effects via DelphiScript bridge.

From the tool's definition uninformative description; sibling tools suggest Altium Designer automation

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs design_session_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_session_start, this is the rule to start with:

design_session_start Rate-limited

design_session_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_session_start call is checked against it from then on.

What risk level is design_session_start? +
