What proj_get_bom does on Eda Agent
AI agents call proj_get_bom 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_bom is rated Low
BOM retrieval is a standard read operation in EDA tools—it queries and returns design component information without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The lack of description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention and context (schematic/PCB automation) make Read the most appropriate category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_get_bom' indicates retrieval of Bill of Materials data; typical BOM operations are read-only queries of design metadata.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proj_get_bom 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_bom, this is the rule to start with:
proj_get_bom 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_bom call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about proj_get_bom
proj_get_bom is a read tool on the Eda Agent MCP server. 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_bom: 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_bom 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_bom 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_bom. 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_bom 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.
