What pcb_delete_net does on Eda Agent
AI agents call pcb_delete_net to permanently remove resources in Eda Agent, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why pcb_delete_net is rated Critical
Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the tool name explicitly indicates deletion of a PCB net. Net deletion in circuit design is an irreversible operation that destroys design intent and connectivity data. This matches the Destructive category definition. The moderate-to-high confidence reflects the clear naming signal despite absent description details.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_delete_net' contains the verb 'delete', which is characteristic of destructive operations. In the context of PCB design automation, deleting a net removes electrical connectivity definitions that are core design artifacts and cannot be…

The rule that runs pcb_delete_net 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_delete_net, this is the rule to start with:
pcb_delete_net is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every pcb_delete_net call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about pcb_delete_net
pcb_delete_net is a destructive tool on the Eda Agent MCP server. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Eda Agent MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pcb_delete_net: 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_delete_net is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_delete_net 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_delete_net. 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_delete_net 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.
