What pcb_panelize does on Eda Agent
AI agents invoke pcb_panelize to trigger actions in Eda Agent. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why pcb_panelize is rated High
Panelization in PCB design involves arranging multiple PCB copies into a manufacturing panel, which modifies the PCB layout significantly. This would be an Execute or Write operation as it creates/modifies PCB panel data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_panelize' on a PCB/EDA automation server with 290+ tools including 'panelization' listed as a feature in the server description.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs pcb_panelize 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_panelize, this is the rule to start with:
pcb_panelize stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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_panelize call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about pcb_panelize
pcb_panelize is a execute tool on the Eda Agent MCP server. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Eda Agent MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pcb_panelize: 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_panelize is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_panelize 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_panelize. 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_panelize 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.
