Measure pulse width at specified threshold.
AI agents call measure_pulse_width to retrieve information from PicoScope MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a measurement/analysis operation on signal data from the oscilloscope. It reads and computes a pulse width value without modifying any data, executing code, or causing side effects. It is purely a read/query operation on captured waveform data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Measure pulse width at specified threshold. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PicoScope MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PicoScope MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for measure_pulse_width: 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 PicoScope MCP Server. Nothing to install.
measure_pulse_width 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 measure_pulse_width 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 measure_pulse_width. 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.
measure_pulse_width is provided by the PicoScope MCP Server MCP server (markuskreitzer/picoscope_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
