WHAT IT DOES

What pcb_start_polygon_placement does on Eda Agent

AI agents invoke pcb_start_polygon_placement 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.

RISK

Why pcb_start_polygon_placement is rated High

Although the name contains 'placement' (suggesting Write), the verb 'start_polygon_placement' in an automation/design context implies initiating an interactive or scripted operation whose effects depend on subsequent parameters and context. This makes it Execute rather than Write.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_start_polygon_placement' indicates it triggers a placement operation in PCB design. Within Altium Designer's persistent DelphiScript bridge, this initiates a design action (polygon placement) that modifies the PCB layout.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs pcb_start_polygon_placement 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_start_polygon_placement, this is the rule to start with:

pcb_start_polygon_placement Rate-limited

pcb_start_polygon_placement 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.

FAQ

Questions about pcb_start_polygon_placement

What does the pcb_start_polygon_placement tool do? +

pcb_start_polygon_placement 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.

How do I enforce a policy on pcb_start_polygon_placement? +

Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pcb_start_polygon_placement: 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_start_polygon_placement? +

pcb_start_polygon_placement is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit pcb_start_polygon_placement? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_start_polygon_placement 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_start_polygon_placement completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pcb_start_polygon_placement. 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_start_polygon_placement? +

pcb_start_polygon_placement 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.
