WHAT IT DOES

What pcb_get_board_outline does on Eda Agent

AI agents call pcb_get_board_outline to retrieve information from Eda Agent without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why pcb_get_board_outline is rated Low

The 'get' prefix is a strong indicator of a read-only retrieval operation. Board outline fetching is a non-destructive query that would retrieve design data. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description, but the verb-based naming convention is reliable evidence. No side effects, financial impact, or code execution implied.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_get_board_outline' uses 'get' verb indicating retrieval operation. No description provided, but naming pattern strongly suggests querying board outline geometry/metadata from PCB design without modification.
