Analyze XDC constraints for missing clocks, duplicate pins, missing IOSTANDARD, and risky exceptions.
AI agents call vivado_analyze_xdc 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.
The tool performs static analysis and inspection of XDC (Xilinx Design Constraints) files to detect issues. It examines constraints for problems (missing clocks, duplicate pins, missing IOSTANDARD, risky exceptions) but does not modify files, execute synthesis/implementation, or trigger hardware operations. This is a diagnostic/query operation with no side effects, fitting the Read category.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Analyze XDC constraints for missing clocks, duplicate pins, missing IOSTANDARD, and risky exceptions. 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_xdc: 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_xdc 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_xdc 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_xdc. 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_xdc 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.
