WHAT IT DOES

What pcb_make_paste_grid does on Eda Agent

AI agents use pcb_make_paste_grid 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.

RISK

Why pcb_make_paste_grid is rated Medium

The 'make' verb combined with 'paste_grid' context suggests this tool creates or modifies PCB manufacturing data (solder paste aperture patterns). This is a reversible write operation that alters PCB design state but does not delete or destroy data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_make_paste_grid' indicates creation or generation of a paste grid (solder paste stencil pattern) on a PCB layout, which modifies design data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs pcb_make_paste_grid 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_make_paste_grid, this is the rule to start with:

pcb_make_paste_grid Rate-limited

pcb_make_paste_grid 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.

FAQ

Questions about pcb_make_paste_grid

What does the pcb_make_paste_grid tool do? +

pcb_make_paste_grid 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.

How do I enforce a policy on pcb_make_paste_grid? +

Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pcb_make_paste_grid: 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.

What risk level is pcb_make_paste_grid? +

pcb_make_paste_grid is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit pcb_make_paste_grid? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_make_paste_grid 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.

How do I block pcb_make_paste_grid completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pcb_make_paste_grid. 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.

What MCP server provides pcb_make_paste_grid? +

pcb_make_paste_grid 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.
