What pcb_create_nets_from_list does on Eda Agent
AI agents use pcb_create_nets_from_list 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_nets_from_list is rated Medium
This tool creates new nets in a PCB design, which is a write operation that modifies design state. While nets can typically be deleted or modified later (making it reversible), incorrect net creation could cause significant design problems requiring manual repair.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_create_nets_from_list' indicates creation of PCB nets (electrical connections). The verb 'create' signifies a write operation that modifies design data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs pcb_create_nets_from_list 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_nets_from_list, this is the rule to start with:
pcb_create_nets_from_list 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_nets_from_list call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about pcb_create_nets_from_list
pcb_create_nets_from_list 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_nets_from_list: 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_nets_from_list 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_nets_from_list 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_nets_from_list. 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_nets_from_list 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.
