WHAT IT DOES

What proj_create_variant does on Eda Agent

AI agents use proj_create_variant 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 proj_create_variant is rated Medium

The tool name 'proj_create_variant' indicates creation of a new project variant. Within Altium Designer's automation context, creating a variant is a write operation that modifies project structure reversibly. Without a description, confidence is reduced. The sibling tools (app_create_document, app_attach, app_detach) suggest this server performs structural modifications.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'proj_create_variant' with empty description; inferred from context that it creates a variant in an Altium Designer project, which is a reversible data modification operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

proj_create_variant Rate-limited

proj_create_variant 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.
