What enrich_datasheets does on KiCAD-MCP-Server
AI agents use enrich_datasheets to create or update resources in KiCAD-MCP-Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your KiCAD-MCP-Server environment.
Why enrich_datasheets is rated Medium
This tool modifies an existing KiCAD schematic file by adding/updating Datasheet URL properties in component symbols. It creates or updates data in a file, which is a reversible write operation (the schematic can be restored). No code execution, deletion, or financial transaction is involved.

The rule that runs enrich_datasheets 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 enrich_datasheets, this is the rule to start with:
enrich_datasheets stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect KiCAD-MCP-Server, apply this rule, and every enrich_datasheets call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about enrich_datasheets
Fill in missing Datasheet URLs in a KiCAD schematic using LCSC part numbers. For every placed symbol that has: • (property. It is categorised as a Write tool in the KiCAD-MCP-Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the KiCAD-MCP-Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for enrich_datasheets: 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 KiCAD-MCP-Server. Nothing to install.
enrich_datasheets is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the enrich_datasheets 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 enrich_datasheets. 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.
enrich_datasheets is provided by the KiCAD-MCP-Server MCP server (mixelpixx/kicad-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
