WHAT IT DOES

What sch_place_probe does on Eda Agent

AI agents use sch_place_probe 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 sch_place_probe is rated Medium

Based on the name, this tool likely places a probe component or marker on a schematic document in Altium Designer, which is a write/create operation. However, the empty description significantly lowers confidence. Given the server context (schematic automation tools), placement operations are typically reversible writes. Severity is medium as misplacement could affect schematic integrity but is generally reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sch_place_probe' suggests placing a probe object on a schematic; description is empty and uninformative.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

sch_place_probe Rate-limited

sch_place_probe 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.
