What get_utilization_report does on Vivado

AI agents call get_utilization_report 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_utilization_report needs a policy

This tool retrieves and reports resource utilization metrics from a Vivado project. It performs no side effects, creates no resources, executes no code, and cannot damage or modify project state. It is a pure read operation typical of EDA design analysis tools. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as reading utilization reports cannot harm the design or system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_utilization_report' and description 'retrieves resource utilization summary (LUT/FF/BRAM/DSP/IO)' indicate a query/reporting operation that fetches data about FPGA resource usage without modifying or executing anything.

How to control get_utilization_report

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_utilization_report:

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

get_utilization_report 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.
