What pcb_trim_extend_track does on Eda Agent
AI agents use pcb_trim_extend_track 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.
Why pcb_trim_extend_track is rated Medium
The tool modifies PCB track dimensions/geometry in a persistent design—a reversible but significant write operation on design data. It is not destructive (tracks can be re-extended or re-trimmed), not read-only, and not code execution. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming and server context (PCB automation) clearly indicate a design modification capability.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pcb_trim_extend_track' indicates modification of PCB track geometry; sibling tools include 'app_create_document', 'app_detach', and document manipulation functions, establishing this as an Altium Designer automation context where track…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs pcb_trim_extend_track 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_trim_extend_track, this is the rule to start with:
pcb_trim_extend_track 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every pcb_trim_extend_track call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about pcb_trim_extend_track
pcb_trim_extend_track 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.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pcb_trim_extend_track: 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_trim_extend_track is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pcb_trim_extend_track 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_trim_extend_track. 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_trim_extend_track 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.
