What pcb_create_net_class does on Eda Agent
AI agents use pcb_create_net_class 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.
Why pcb_create_net_class is rated Medium
PCB net class creation modifies the design reversibly—it adds or configures electrical properties (impedance, spacing rules, etc.) but can be undone/deleted. This is a Write-category action. Severity is high because misconfiguring net classes could compromise PCB fabrication or electrical performance, affecting design correctness.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_create_net_class' indicates creation of a PCB net class, which modifies design data in Altium Designer. No description provided, but 'create' prefix and context of 290+ design automation tools confirms write operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs pcb_create_net_class 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 pcb_create_net_class, this is the rule to start with:
pcb_create_net_class 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every pcb_create_net_class call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about pcb_create_net_class
pcb_create_net_class 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.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pcb_create_net_class: 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.
pcb_create_net_class is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_create_net_class 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 pcb_create_net_class. 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.
pcb_create_net_class 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.
