Get basic information about a schematic cellview (lib, cell, view, modification time).
AI agents call get_cellview_info to retrieve information from Virtuoso Schematic MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool is a pure read operation that queries metadata about a design cellview. It has no side effects, makes no modifications to the schematic, and cannot cause damage if called with arbitrary arguments. The information returned (lib, cell, view, timestamp) are non-sensitive attributes in a design context. Risk is minimal.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves basic information about a schematic cellview including library, cell, view name, and modification time. Keywords: 'Get basic information', 'inspect'. No data modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get basic information about a schematic cellview (lib, cell, view, modification time). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Virtuoso Schematic MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Virtuoso Schematic MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cellview_info: 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 Virtuoso Schematic MCP. Nothing to install.
get_cellview_info 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 get_cellview_info 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 get_cellview_info. 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.
get_cellview_info is provided by the Virtuoso Schematic MCP server (michelebergo/virtuoso-schematic-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
