## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "sch_get_directives",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why sch_get_directives is rated Low

The 'get_' prefix universally indicates read operations that query or retrieve state without side effects. In a schematic design context, 'directives' are likely design rules, annotations, or metadata that would be retrieved for inspection or review purposes, consistent with the server's stated 'design review' and 'audits' capabilities. No mutation, execution, or destructive potential is evident from the name alone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'sch_get_directives' uses the 'get_' verb pattern, indicating retrieval of schematic directives with no modification capability. The server context shows this is part of Altium Designer automation (a PCB/schematic design tool)."

## Use case

AI agents call sch_get_directives 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Eda Agent:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sch_get_directives": {}
  }
}
```
