WHAT IT DOES

What get_jlcpcb_part does on KiCAD-MCP-Server

AI agents call get_jlcpcb_part 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_jlcpcb_part is rated Low

This tool queries an external API or local database to retrieve part information (stock, pricing, parameters). It has no side effects on the KiCAD project or external systems—it only reads and returns data. The severity is low because misuse would only expose pricing/availability information without damaging data or triggering unintended operations.

From the tool's definition Tool performs a lookup operation: 'Get detailed information about a specific JLCPCB part by LCSC number' and 'performs a REAL-TIME lookup — live stock, tiered pricing, parameters and library type'. It retrieves data with a fallback to a snapshot database.
