WHAT IT DOES

What capture_and_analyze_analog does on Logic Analyzer AI MCP

AI agents invoke capture_and_analyze_analog to trigger actions in Logic Analyzer AI MCP. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why capture_and_analyze_analog needs a policy

Based on the tool name and server context, this tool likely initiates a hardware capture session (triggering external device operations) and analyzes analog signals, which constitutes an Execute-category action. The description is empty, reducing confidence. Severity is medium as misuse could tie up hardware resources or capture unintended signals, but blast radius is limited to the logic analyzer hardware.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'capture_and_analyze_analog' and server description 'capture and analyze digital/analog signals' suggest this tool triggers hardware capture operations on a Saleae Logic analyzer.

Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Logic Analyzer AI MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is capture_and_analyze_analog? +

capture_and_analyze_analog is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit capture_and_analyze_analog? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the capture_and_analyze_analog 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.

How do I block capture_and_analyze_analog completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for capture_and_analyze_analog. 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.

What MCP server provides capture_and_analyze_analog? +

capture_and_analyze_analog is provided by the Logic Analyzer AI MCP server (michelebergo/logic-analyzer-ai-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
