What proj_get_board_info does on Eda Agent
AI agents call proj_get_board_info 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_get_board_info is rated Low
This tool retrieves static design metadata (board geometry, layer configuration, origin coordinates) from an Altium Designer PCB project. It performs a query-like operation with no capability to modify designs, execute code, delete data, or commit financial obligations. The 'Get' verb and read-only nature of the described properties confirm Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_get_board_info' and description 'Get PCB board information, outline vertices, layer stack, origin' indicate a retrieval operation with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proj_get_board_info 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_get_board_info, this is the rule to start with:
proj_get_board_info 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_get_board_info call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about proj_get_board_info
Get PCB board information, outline vertices, layer stack, origin. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Eda Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for proj_get_board_info: 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_get_board_info 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_get_board_info 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_get_board_info. 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_get_board_info 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.
