WHAT IT DOES

What proj_lock_designator does on Eda Agent

AI agents use proj_lock_designator 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.

RISK

Why proj_lock_designator is rated Medium

The tool name indicates a state modification (locking) of designators (component identifiers) in a project context. This is a reversible Write operation—designators can be unlocked later. While the empty description limits certainty, the naming convention and server context (persistent DelphiScript bridge for design automation) suggest it modifies project data rather than executing arbitrary code or deleting data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_lock_designator' suggests modifying designator lock state in Altium Designer projects. Given the server's scope (290+ design automation tools), this likely creates or modifies designator locking metadata reversibly.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs proj_lock_designator 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_lock_designator, this is the rule to start with:

proj_lock_designator Rate-limited

proj_lock_designator 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_lock_designator call is checked against it from then on.
