WHAT IT DOES

What lib_add_pins does on Eda Agent

AI agents use lib_add_pins 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 lib_add_pins is rated Medium

The tool operates on design library data (pins), which aligns with Write semantics: it creates or modifies design artifacts reversibly. While it affects electrical properties, the action is not destructive (pins can be removed or modified later) and does not execute arbitrary code or move financial resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'lib_add_pins' indicates creation/modification of library pins in Altium Designer. No description provided, but in the context of a design automation server with 290+ tools for 'schematic, PCB, library & project automation', a pin-addition function…

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

lib_add_pins Rate-limited

lib_add_pins 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.
