Recommended First Flow

Run these in order when starting a session:

1. easyeda_doctor
2. easyeda_get_context
3. easyeda_schematic_snapshot
4. easyeda_trace_component or easyeda_trace_net

Tool Groups

• status and context
• search and inspection
• schematic analysis
• navigation and export
• explicitly confirmed actions

Status and Context

easyeda_live_status

Checks whether the EasyEDA Pro extension is connected and returns current bridge and editor status information.

Use this for a quick yes/no connection check.

easyeda_doctor

Returns a structured diagnosis of the local MCP bridge, extension connection state, protocol compatibility, active document availability, and recommended next steps.

Use this first when anything feels broken.

easyeda_get_context

Returns a broader summary of the current editor context, including active document details and some available counts for project data.

Use this to confirm the AI is looking at the right EasyEDA Pro document.

Search and Inspection

easyeda_find_component

Searches the active project for components matching a designator, name, value, footprint, or property text.

Good queries: U1, USB1, TPS, regulator, or a footprint name.

easyeda_find_net

Searches nets by name and returns available net metadata and connections.

Good queries: GND, VCC_5V, SDA, VBUS, D+, or CC1.

Schematic Analysis

easyeda_schematic_snapshot

Builds a structured, normalized snapshot of the active schematic, including components, pins, wires, labels, nets, counts, warnings, and confidence metadata.

This is the best starting point for schematic-level analysis.

easyeda_list_schematic_components

Lists normalized schematic components with key fields such as designator, value, name, footprint, position, and selected properties.

Use it to inventory the schematic or filter for a family of parts.

easyeda_get_component_pins

Returns the pins known for a component, including pin number, pin name, position, and net when available.

Use it before writing exact checks with easyeda_verify_connections.

easyeda_trace_net

Traces a net and returns the pins, components, wires, labels, and related evidence associated with it.

Use it to inspect a signal, power rail, or named net.

easyeda_trace_component

Traces a component's connections grouped by pin and net.

Use it to review how one device is wired.

easyeda_find_unconnected_pins

Finds pins that do not have a confirmed net in the normalized schematic data.

Use it to find likely missing wires or symbol connectivity issues.

easyeda_validate_schematic_area

Runs generic read-only schematic checks against selected components, selected nets, or the whole schematic.

The current validation layer may report findings such as:

• pin_without_net
• single_pin_net
• single_node_net
• similar_power_net_names
• power_net_without_detected_capacitor

easyeda_verify_connections

Runs structured connection assertions against the active schematic.

Use this when you want targeted checks such as:

• whether a pin is connected at all
• whether a pin is on a specific net
• whether two endpoints resolve to the same node
• whether a path exists or does not exist
• whether a signal is pulled to a reference net through a resistor or other passive component
• whether a power node appears decoupled to a reference net

Supported assertion types include:

• pin_connected
• pin_on_net
• same_node
• path_exists
• path_absent
• pull_to_net
• decoupled_to_net

Example shape:

{
  "checks": [
    {
      "type": "pin_on_net",
      "component": "USB1",
      "pinName": "GND",
      "net": "GND"
    },
    {
      "type": "path_exists",
      "from": { "component": "USB1", "pinName": "CC1" },
      "to": { "net": "GND" },
      "through": { "kind": "resistor", "value": "5.1k" }
    }
  ]
}

Navigation and Export

easyeda_navigate_component

Requests navigation to a component in the EasyEDA Pro editor.

Use it after search or trace when you want to inspect the part visually.

easyeda_navigate_region

Navigates to coordinates or a rectangular region in the active document.

Use it when:

• you already know the coordinate target
• you want to zoom into a specific area

easyeda_zoom_board

Zooms the active PCB editor to the board outline.

easyeda_export_bom

Exports a BOM from the active project.

Supported formats:

• csv
• xlsx
• json

easyeda_export_netlist

Exports a netlist from the active schematic or PCB context.

easyeda_export_gerber

Exports Gerber fabrication data from the active PCB.

easyeda_export_pdf

Exports a PDF from the active schematic or PCB document.

Explicitly Confirmed Actions

easyeda_confirmed_action

Runs a mutating EasyEDA Pro action only when the confirmation text explicitly confirms the action.

Supported actions:

• save
• importChanges
• autoroute
• autolayout

The confirmation text must include an explicit confirmation phrase such as:

• I confirm
• confirmed
• confirma
• confirmo

Example shape:

{
  "action": "save",
  "confirmation": "I confirm"
}

Practical Usage Pattern

A useful workflow is often:

1. easyeda_live_status
2. easyeda_doctor
3. easyeda_get_context
4. easyeda_schematic_snapshot
5. easyeda_trace_component or easyeda_trace_net
6. easyeda_verify_connections for targeted assertions
7. easyeda_navigate_component if you need to inspect the area visually
