RECOMMENDED RULE

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

lib_kicad_import Rate-limited

lib_kicad_import 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.
