What proj_export_step does on Eda Agent
AI agents use proj_export_step 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 proj_export_step is rated Medium
Export tools are Write-category because they generate new data (STEP files in this case, a standard 3D CAD format) as artifacts. The severity is medium because exporting design data could expose proprietary designs or intellectual property if misused by an agent, but the operation itself is reversible and non-destructive to the source project.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_export_step' indicates export functionality, which produces new output files or data artifacts from a project. The prefix 'proj_' confirms it operates on project state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proj_export_step 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_export_step, this is the rule to start with:
proj_export_step 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 proj_export_step call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about proj_export_step
proj_export_step 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 proj_export_step: 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.
proj_export_step 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 proj_export_step 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 proj_export_step. 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.
proj_export_step 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.
