Why verify_io_placement_tool needs a policy

This tool performs verification and comparison of IO pin placement by checking XDC constraints against actual layout. It retrieves and analyzes data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The action is purely informational—comparing two data sources to validate correctness. This is characteristic of Read category tools (get, verify, check, compare).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'verify' and description states '验证 IO 引脚分配:比对 XDC 约束与实际布局' (verify IO pin allocation: compare XDC constraints with actual layout). This is a comparison/validation operation that checks constraints against layout without modifying either.

How to control verify_io_placement_tool

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 verify_io_placement_tool:

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

verify_io_placement_tool 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.
