What get_ip_status does on Vivado

AI agents call get_ip_status to retrieve information from Vivado without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_ip_status needs a policy

This is a diagnostic tool that reads and reports the current state of IP core versions in an FPGA project. It performs no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. It is purely informational, similar to other sibling tools like 'get_project_info' and 'get_timing_report', which are clearly Read operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'checks version status of all IPs in a project' (检查...版本状态) — a query/inspection operation that retrieves information without modification, deletion, or execution.

How to control get_ip_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Vivado, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_ip_status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_ip_status": {}
  }
}

get_ip_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Vivado — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
