What proj_get_options does on Eda Agent
AI agents call proj_get_options 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_options is rated Low
The tool name suggests it retrieves project options/configuration without modification. While the description is empty, the naming convention and server context (Altium Designer automation) indicate this is a query/retrieval tool. Confidence is moderate (0.7) due to missing description, but the 'get_' prefix strongly indicates a read-only operation with minimal risk if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_get_options' combined with server context showing 290+ tools for automation and design review; pattern matches sibling tools like 'app_get_preferences', 'app_get_status', 'app_get_version' which are all read-only getters.

The rule that runs proj_get_options 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_options, this is the rule to start with:
proj_get_options 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_options call is checked against it from then on.
