AI agents call get_run_progress 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.
The 'get_' prefix and context within FPGA development tooling strongly suggests this retrieves progress information rather than executing operations or modifying data. Even though the description is missing, the semantic intent is clear. Risk is low because retrieving status information poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_run_progress' indicates a retrieval operation that queries the status of a Vivado run without modifying state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_run_progress gives an agent:
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_run_progress:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_run_progress": {}
}
}get_run_progress is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_run_progress. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Vivado MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Vivado MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_run_progress: 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 Vivado. Nothing to install.
get_run_progress 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 get_run_progress 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 get_run_progress. 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.
get_run_progress is provided by the Vivado MCP server (mapleleavessssssss-wq/vivado-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Vivado, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
