What listPlotPresets does on Ltspice

AI agents call listPlotPresets to retrieve information from Ltspice without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why listPlotPresets needs a policy

This tool retrieves or enumerates existing plot preset configurations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a pure information retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'listPlotPresets' and description 'List built-in deterministic LTspice plot presets' indicate a query/listing operation with no side effects.

How to control listPlotPresets

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ltspice, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for listPlotPresets:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "listPlotPresets": {}
  }
}

listPlotPresets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Ltspice — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
