Remove wire from schematic
AI agents call remove_wire to permanently remove resources in KiCAD Schematic Manipulation MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool deletes schematic components (wires) that cannot be automatically restored without undo functionality context. Removing wires from a KiCAD schematic is a destructive operation that breaks circuit connections and could render the design non-functional.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_wire' combined with description 'Remove wire from schematic' indicates irreversible deletion of circuit design elements. This permanently removes connectivity information from the schematic file.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove wire from schematic. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the KiCAD Schematic Manipulation MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the KiCAD Schematic Manipulation MCP Server 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 Schematic Manipulation MCP Server. 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 Schematic Manipulation MCP Server MCP server (richard-luc/kicad-schematic-manipulation). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
