What sim_get_readiness does on Eda Agent
AI agents call sim_get_readiness 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.
Why sim_get_readiness is rated Low
Although the description is empty, the naming pattern strongly indicates a read-only query operation that checks simulation readiness status in the Altium Designer context. This would retrieve information about whether a simulation can proceed, with no side effects. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the 'get_' prefix and readiness semantics are reliable indicators of read-only behavior.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sim_get_readiness' uses the 'get_' prefix, which conventionally retrieves or queries state information. The 'readiness' semantic suggests checking a status or condition without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sim_get_readiness 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 sim_get_readiness, this is the rule to start with:
sim_get_readiness is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 sim_get_readiness call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about sim_get_readiness
sim_get_readiness is a read tool on the Eda Agent MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Eda Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Eda Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sim_get_readiness: 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.
sim_get_readiness is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sim_get_readiness 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 sim_get_readiness. 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.
sim_get_readiness 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.
