WHAT IT DOES

What delete_schematic_wire does on KiCAD-MCP-Server

AI agents call delete_schematic_wire to permanently remove resources in KiCAD-MCP-Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_schematic_wire is rated Critical

Deletion of schematic wires is a destructive operation that permanently removes design data. While individual wire deletions have limited blast radius compared to bulk deletions, removing wires from an active schematic could break circuit designs and require manual recovery.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Remove a wire from the schematic' — this irreversibly deletes a schematic element that cannot be automatically reconstructed.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_schematic_wire safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and KiCAD-MCP-Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_schematic_wire, this is the rule to start with:

delete_schematic_wire Hidden

delete_schematic_wire is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
