Combine log, timing, and XDC signals into deterministic failure-analysis guidance.
AI agents call vivado_analyze_failure to retrieve information from Vivado Mcp Agent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a diagnostic/reporting tool that reads and correlates existing failure data to provide analysis. It has no side effects on the FPGA project state—it does not modify files, execute builds, or trigger irreversible operations. The only action is retrieving and interpreting existing logs and signals, which is characteristic of a Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'vivado_analyze_failure' and description 'Combine log, timing, and XDC signals into deterministic failure-analysis guidance' indicate analysis and querying of existing data (logs, timing reports, XDC configuration).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Combine log, timing, and XDC signals into deterministic failure-analysis guidance. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Vivado Mcp Agent MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Vivado Mcp Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vivado_analyze_failure: 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 Vivado Mcp Agent. Nothing to install.
vivado_analyze_failure is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vivado_analyze_failure 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 vivado_analyze_failure. 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.
vivado_analyze_failure is provided by the Vivado Mcp Agent MCP server (wangyuxin0707/vivado-mcp-agent). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
