Validate board YAML fields, pin uniqueness, IOSTANDARD, and clock frequency.
AI agents call vivado_validate_board_file 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 tool inspects and validates board file properties without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary operations. It is a diagnostic/analysis tool that retrieves and checks data against requirements, similar to a linter or validator. The worst outcome of misuse would be false validation results, not system state changes. Therefore, it is classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition The tool performs validation operations on board YAML fields, pin uniqueness, IOSTANDARD, and clock frequency. The verb 'validate' and the scope of checking existing configuration data without modification indicates a read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Validate board YAML fields, pin uniqueness, IOSTANDARD, and clock frequency. 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_validate_board_file: 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_validate_board_file 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_validate_board_file 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_validate_board_file. 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_validate_board_file 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.
