WHAT IT DOES

What get_datasheet_url does on KiCAD-MCP-Server

AI agents call get_datasheet_url to retrieve information from KiCAD-MCP-Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_datasheet_url is rated Low

This tool only retrieves information (datasheet URLs) based on an input identifier. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations on the KiCAD project or external systems. It is a read-only data retrieval function. The potential for misuse is minimal since returning a URL poses no security risk to the design environment.

From the tool's definition Tool 'get_datasheet_url' retrieves and returns datasheet URLs for electronic components by LCSC number. The description explicitly states 'No network request – URL is constructed from the LCSC number alone,' indicating it performs a query/lookup operation…

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_datasheet_url 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 get_datasheet_url, this is the rule to start with:

get_datasheet_url Allowed

get_datasheet_url is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_datasheet_url": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect KiCAD-MCP-Server, apply this rule, and every get_datasheet_url call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about get_datasheet_url

What does the get_datasheet_url tool do? +

Get the LCSC datasheet URL for a component by LCSC number. Returns the direct PDF URL and product page URL. No network request – URL is constructed from the LCSC number alone. Example: get_datasheet_url(. It is categorised as a Read tool in the KiCAD-MCP-Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_datasheet_url? +

Register the KiCAD-MCP-Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_datasheet_url: 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.

What risk level is get_datasheet_url? +

get_datasheet_url is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_datasheet_url? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_datasheet_url 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 get_datasheet_url completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_datasheet_url. 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 get_datasheet_url? +

get_datasheet_url 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.
