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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "sch_place_text_frame",
    "arguments": {}

## Why sch_place_text_frame is rated Medium

Placing text frames on schematics is a reversible write operation that modifies the design document. It creates or positions new elements but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The medium severity reflects that misuse could corrupt design layouts, but changes can typically be undone in Altium Designer.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'sch_place_text_frame' indicates placement of text frames in schematics. The 'place' action suggests creation or modification of design elements. Description is empty, limiting specificity."

## Use case

AI agents use sch_place_text_frame 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

    "sch_place_text_frame": {
