Run headless Design Rule Check on a PCB and return violations grouped by rule with severities, mm coordinates, totals, and the JSON report path. Fails closed (explicit error) if the run fails rather than reporting a false clean pass.

Render a PCB in 3D to a PNG and return the image plus the saved file path. Supports camera controls: side, zoom, rotate, pan, pivot, perspective, floor.

Export one SVG per PCB layer (e.g. F.Cu,B.Cu,Edge.Cuts) and return the generated file paths. Defaults to board-area fit for downstream cropping.

Get a PCB layout overview: board dimensions, layer/stackup summary, footprint/track/via/zone counts, net count, and top nets by copper element count.

Get a component's PCB placement (position, side, rotation), footprint id, and pads with their nets.

Find footprints placed within a radius (mm) of a given component, with distances.

Analyze one PCB net's routed copper length, layer usage, widths, vias, endpoints, and copper-island connectivity.

Compare routed lengths for a differential pair. Pass explicit net_p/net_n or pass net_p as the base name using _P/_N or +/- conventions.

List routed lengths for nets whose names match a glob or regular expression, sorted by length for bus matching review.

Estimate current capacity for nets matching a glob or regex, sorted weakest first, using IPC-2221 trace current formulas.

Estimate single-ended and differential impedance with IPC-2141 closed-form formulas for matching nets, or a hypothetical width/layer.

Render a 2D PNG crop of a PCB region as ImageContent. Select exactly one target: reference plus margin_mm, net plus margin_mm, or explicit x_mm/y_mm/width_mm/height_mm. Layers default to the target side copper plus silkscreen and Edge.Cuts for reference crops, or all copper plus Edge.Cuts otherwise.

Render a 2D PNG with one net's tracks, vias, pads, and zones drawn bright over a dimmed board. Defaults to the whole board and all copper layers.

Report live KiCad IPC reachability, version, attempted socket, and open PCB documents.

Select a footprint reference or board position in the running KiCad PCB editor. View zoom/pan is reported when unsupported by the IPC client.

Select all selectable copper items on a net in the running KiCad PCB editor so the GUI highlights them live.

Read the user's current live KiCad PCB selection as references, nets, item types, and item summaries.

Resolve a PCB source and fail closed if the installed KiCad IPC client cannot open documents.
