remove_wire
AI agents call remove_wire to permanently remove resources in Kicad — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool performs irreversible deletion of schematic wires. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the name combined with the server context (KiCad electronic design) and sibling tools that add elements (add_pcb_line, add_label, etc.) strongly suggests this tool removes circuit elements.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_wire' indicates deletion/removal of circuit elements. In the context of KiCad schematic/PCB design (per server description), removing wires destructively modifies the schematic by eliminating connections, which cannot be trivially undone…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
remove_wire. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Kicad MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Kicad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_wire: 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. Nothing to install.
remove_wire is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remove_wire 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 remove_wire. 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.
remove_wire is provided by the Kicad MCP server (productofamerica/mcp-server-kicad). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
