AI agents invoke program_device to trigger actions in Vivado. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
This tool programs a physical FPGA device by orchestrating multiple hardware operations (open hardware manager, connect, program). It triggers real-world external hardware effects — flashing firmware/bitstream onto silicon — which qualifies as Execute (running external operations with physical consequences).

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access program_device 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 program_device:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"program_device": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "program_device_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}program_device stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Vivado MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for program_device: 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.
program_device is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the program_device 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 program_device. 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.
program_device 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.
