What proj_find_component does on Eda Agent
AI agents call proj_find_component to retrieve information from Eda Agent without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why proj_find_component is rated Low
The tool appears designed to search for or retrieve component information from an Altium Designer project. Without a description, this is inferred from nomenclature. No evidence of data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The confidence is moderate (0.72) due to missing description; if the tool merely lists or queries components, it is clearly Read.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_find_component' suggests a search/query operation to locate a component within a project. No description provided, but 'find' typically indicates retrieval without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proj_find_component 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_find_component, this is the rule to start with:
proj_find_component is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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_find_component call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about proj_find_component

Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for proj_find_component: 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_find_component is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the proj_find_component 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_find_component. 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_find_component 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.
