What create_emc_test_setup does on Drawio Engineering

Why create_emc_test_setup needs a policy

This tool creates a visual diagram from a template—a classic Write operation that modifies the draw.io workspace by adding new content. The action is fully reversible (the diagram can be deleted), causes no side effects beyond the diagram itself, and does not execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Generates an EMC test setup cross-section diagram from a template and opens it in draw.io.' The verb 'generates' combined with 'opens' indicates creation of a new diagram artifact, which is a reversible write operation.

How to control create_emc_test_setup

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Drawio Engineering, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_emc_test_setup:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_emc_test_setup": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_emc_test_setup_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_emc_test_setup 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Drawio Engineering — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
