Apply a mid-project requirement change and report impacted RTL/TB/XDC/Vivado stages.
AI agents invoke vivado_handle_requirement_change to trigger actions in Vivado Mcp Agent. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
This tool does more than read; it applies requirement changes mid-project, modifying RTL/TB/XDC files and potentially triggering re-synthesis or re-implementation stages. It spans Write and Execute categories; since it triggers external Vivado operations and modifies design artifacts across multiple stages, Execute is the most appropriate category.
From the tool's definition 'Apply a mid-project requirement change and report impacted RTL/TB/XDC/Vivado stages' — actively applies changes to the project and triggers downstream stage analysis across RTL, testbench, constraints, and Vivado implementation pipeline
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Apply a mid-project requirement change and report impacted RTL/TB/XDC/Vivado stages. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Vivado Mcp Agent MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Vivado Mcp Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vivado_handle_requirement_change: 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_handle_requirement_change is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vivado_handle_requirement_change 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_handle_requirement_change. 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_handle_requirement_change 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.
