Embedr

Edit Edge.Cuts lines/arcs/contours, board cutouts, mounting holes/slots and layer-specific keepouts. Hole additions are board-only mechanical features. Electrical components must be added in source. Never replace the outline with a component bounding box. Coordinates and dimensions are mm; use exact IDs/nets from inspect_pcb. Requires expectedRevision, preserves unrelated items, refills zones and returns DRC findings. Preview is available. An applied edit is not fabrication approval. Load pcb-board-editing for the validated workflow.

edit_pcb_geometry

Create, update or delete copper zones. New zones require net, layers, boundary and explicit clearance, minimum thickness and connection settings; thermal connections require gap/spoke dimensions. Board boundaries use the actual closed outline and cutouts. Upsert by an existing ID to avoid duplicate pours. Coordinates and dimensions are mm; use exact IDs/nets from inspect_pcb. Requires expectedRevision, preserves unrelated items, refills zones and returns DRC findings. Preview is available. An applied edit is not fabrication approval. Load pcb-board-editing for the validated workflow.

edit_pcb_zones

Accept a guarded batch of file writes/deletes. Returns a durable operation; poll get_operation. Never overwrite newer browser edits.

apply_project_patch

Edit board text/graphics and existing footprint reference/value labels by UUID. Move, resize, rotate, mirror or hide markings to resolve silkscreen findings. Reference/value identity cannot be changed with this tool. Coordinates and dimensions are mm; use exact IDs/nets from inspect_pcb. Requires expectedRevision, preserves unrelated items, refills zones and returns DRC findings. Preview is available. An applied edit is not fabrication approval. Load pcb-board-editing for the validated workflow.

edit_pcb_graphics

Edit specific tracks, arcs and through vias, including ground stitching and dangling-stub repairs. New items require exact net and geometry. This is an explicit geometry editor; it does not choose or autoroute paths. Coordinates and dimensions are mm; use exact IDs/nets from inspect_pcb. Requires expectedRevision, preserves unrelated items, refills zones and returns DRC findings. Preview is available. An applied edit is not fabrication approval. Load pcb-board-editing for the validated workflow.

edit_pcb_copper

Open your Embedr project library.

open_project_library

Export fabrication artifacts from the generated KiCad board with the authenticated remote KiCad worker.

export_project

Fetch a component-library asset. Text assets return inline; binary assets return their protected download URL and metadata.

fetch_component_asset

Start or reuse a durable operation to generate a derived schematic or 3D preview for the exact saved revision. Does not alter project files.

get_view_asset

Inspect the current project sidecar pcb/Zener workspace and the pinned Embedr PCB runtime.

get_pcb_status

Read the generated bill of materials (pcb/bom.json with pcb/bom.csv projection). Items carry a stable itemKey, identity fields (mpn, manufacturer, package, value, references), the persisted sourcing overlay (supplier, supplierPartNumber, sourceUrl, datasheet, datasheetId, lifecycle, mount, moq, orderMultiple, leadTimeDays, note), and the availability snapshot (stock, currency, unitPrice, priceBreaks, offers, assembly per-vendor map, provider, checkedAt, fetchedFor, stale). Document-level fields include displayCurrency and buildQty (boards per build; required stock = line quantity x buildQty). Persisted sourcing wins over regenerated schematic values; availability is marked stale when the part identity changed after capture.

get_pcb_bom

Fetch a published component record including pins, design constraints, readiness, Zener compatibility, installable assets, and knowledge.hasIndexedDatasheet with linked document summaries. When a datasheet is indexed, search it with search_component_evidence and read cited chunks with get_component_evidence.

get_component

Request a live PCB fabrication or PCBA assembly-labor estimate. The result appears in chat and the Manufacturing tab for the same project and matching board/options. Quotation does not upload files, add to cart, or submit an order. For PCBA, set assembly.side from actual placement; part counts are derived from BOM readiness when assembly is omitted. Use widthMm, heightMm and thicknessMm; return spec is the exact specification to reuse for handoff. The runtime derives omitted drill size from the board.

get_manufacturing_quote

Read authoritative project, current revision, board files and canonical Open in Embedr link.

get_project

Inspect the current board using KiCad: exact UUIDs, nets, layers, zones, filled copper, tracks/vias, outline/holes/keepouts, text, rules and current DRC/connectivity. Returns a revision for edits. Filter by section, net or IDs and paginate large results. Does not change the source board. Load pcb-board-editing for the validated workflow.

inspect_pcb

Resolve the evaluated PCB/Zener netlist for exact component and net identifiers.

inspect_pcb_netlist

Inspect exact manual PCB refs, coordinates in mm, rotations, sides, locks, bounds, pad nets/drills, source paths and fingerprint. Separately reports anchor containment and rendered-envelope boundary validation: inside, outside, straddling, touching or unknown, including cutouts. Review exact geometry and intentional overhang; inside anchors do not prove the component fits. Load pcb-placement for placement work.

inspect_pcb_placement

Install one published component as a complete local PCB package from its versioned install manifest, validate hashes and local references, and return the exact Module(...) declaration.

install_component

List available PCB-only and PCB+assembly handoff options. PCBWay is currently the available manufacturer through pcbway and pcbway-smt adapters.

get_manufacturing_vendors

List canonical file metadata and hashes for a project.

list_project_files

List your ordinary Embedr projects. Every project opens in the same web workspace.

list_projects

Load one reviewed Embedr engineering skill when its catalog description matches the task.

get_design_guidance

Manually move/rotate or lock/unlock only specified KiCad refs in mm and KiCad degrees. Optional preview and stale-board fingerprint. Retains copper and other footprints and saves an undo backup. Preview and applied results include advisory boundary validation for envelopes straddling/touching/outside the outline; correct or justify findings before accepting placement. Recheck affected nets and source directives. Use source-backed placement for side changes.

place_pcb

Read public package API documentation from the pinned Embedr PCB CLI. Prefer this over guessing Zener signatures.

get_pcb_language_docs

Read an exact cited component datasheet or notes chunk after search_component_evidence. Supply the result sourceId as datasheetId for datasheet chunks. No indexing or package installation needed.

get_component_evidence

Read an exact referenced text resource from a previously loaded bundled skill.

read_design_guidance_resource

Read a bounded UTF-8 project file. Binary files return private downloads; set download=true to also download native KiCad, source, CSV or other text files.

read_project_file

Read a bounded private 3D preview byte range for the exact saved revision.

read_view_asset

Record a metadata-only workspace interaction.

record_widget_interaction

Recalculate and persist all existing copper zone fills and report actual unconnected items. Coordinates and dimensions are mm; use exact IDs/nets from inspect_pcb. Requires expectedRevision, preserves unrelated items, refills zones and returns DRC findings. Preview is available. An applied edit is not fabrication approval. Load pcb-board-editing for the validated workflow.

refill_pcb_zones

Refresh the mounted viewer from the canonical project.

get_view_state

Render the generated KiCad PCB to a PNG and attach it for direct visual inspection. Optional layers isolate KiCad layers such as F.Cu, B.Cu, or Edge.Cuts.

render_pcb

Capture the exact active Embedr Schematics viewer as a PNG and attach those same pixels for direct visual inspection. The browser owns this tool so its output cannot diverge from the visible viewer renderer.

render_circuit

Restore an earlier snapshot as a new guarded revision; poll get_operation.

restore_revision

Route an accepted placement with the self-hosted Freerouting engine. Preserve existing copper and verify DRC and placement; refuse stale inputs. No paid Embedr plan is required. Report unsupported geometry or tuning as concrete blockers.

route_pcb

Run Zen source ERC, KiCad board DRC, and PDK-backed DFM for the same board revision. These are distinct checks; Zen ERC is not KiCad schematic ERC. Returns complete structured evidence even when a check fails.

check_pcb

Search the published Embedr component library by part identity, package, function, or physical constraints. Use this before choosing a grounded component.

search_components

Search already indexed component datasheets and optional implementation notes. Use before downloading/re-indexing a library document. Returns source IDs, exact chunk read URLs and images. Errors if no indexed datasheet is available.

search_component_evidence

Upload a freshly verified fabrication archive to PCBWay and return the provider review URL. This does not place an order or make payment. Use only when the user requests handoff. Reuse the exact spec, quoteId and buildDays from the live quote. Shipping is optional for file review; the user can enter shipping and payment on PCBWay.

create_manufacturing_handoff

Create the current project sidecar pcb/Zener workspace under projectRoot/pcb when it is missing.

initialize_pcb_workspace
