What sch_set_net_tie does on Eda Agent
AI agents use sch_set_net_tie 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_set_net_tie is rated Medium
This tool modifies schematic connectivity by establishing or changing net ties—a reversible change to PCB design data. While this alters design state, it does not permanently delete data or execute arbitrary commands. Confidence is moderate (0.72) because the description is empty; name analysis infers its function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sch_set_net_tie' suggests modifying schematic net connectivity (setting a net tie). Sibling tools like 'sch_*' functions and the server's stated purpose of 'schematic... automation' confirm this operates on design data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sch_set_net_tie 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_set_net_tie, this is the rule to start with:
sch_set_net_tie 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_set_net_tie call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about sch_set_net_tie
sch_set_net_tie is a write tool on the Eda Agent MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Eda Agent MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sch_set_net_tie: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Eda Agent. Nothing to install.
sch_set_net_tie 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_set_net_tie 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_set_net_tie. 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.
sch_set_net_tie is provided by the Eda Agent MCP server (salitronic/eda-agent). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
