AI agents use hfss_import_project to create or update resources in HFSS MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your HFSS MCP Server environment.
Importing a project file modifies the current simulation state by loading potentially arbitrary project configuration and geometry data from disk/external source. This is reversible (projects can be closed and replaced), but creates substantive changes to the HFSS environment. While not directly destructive or executable in the shell sense, it alters application state significantly.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'hfss_import_project' combined with description 'Import a project file' indicates loading external project data into the HFSS simulation environment.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access hfss_import_project gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and HFSS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for hfss_import_project:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"hfss_import_project": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "hfss_import_project_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}hfss_import_project 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Import a project file. It is categorised as a Write tool in the HFSS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the HFSS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hfss_import_project: 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 HFSS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
hfss_import_project 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 hfss_import_project 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 hfss_import_project. 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.
hfss_import_project is provided by the HFSS MCP Server MCP server (leonardwy/hfss_mcpserver). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from HFSS MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
