What sch_place_rectangle does on Eda Agent
AI agents use sch_place_rectangle 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.
Why sch_place_rectangle is rated Medium
Based on the tool name, this appears to place a graphical rectangle element on a schematic. Placing/adding elements to a schematic is a Write operation (reversible creation/modification). Confidence is reduced due to the empty description, but the naming convention matches other schematic placement tools in EDA tools which create objects. It is not destructive as rectangles can typically be removed.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sch_place_rectangle' suggests placing a rectangle element in a schematic document. No description provided.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sch_place_rectangle 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_rectangle, this is the rule to start with:
sch_place_rectangle 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 sch_place_rectangle call is checked against it from then on.

sch_place_rectangle is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sch_place_rectangle 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 sch_place_rectangle. 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.
