suggest_snap

Usage
suggest_snap <x> <y>Angle brackets mark required arguments and square brackets optional ones. Available in the pcb editor. You can issue this yourself, and the AI agent issues the identical command — there is no second, hidden interface.
Arguments
xRequired
yRequired
2 required, 0 optional.
Behaviour
Searches pads and the 0.1 mm grid across the whole board; there is no layer filter.
How the agent uses it
- The agent works in a perceive / act / verify / recover loop: it describes the design, issues
suggest_snapor another command, checks the result, and undoes the change if the check fails. - Commands report what they actually did. A refusal is a result, not a silent no-op — which is what lets the agent recover instead of building on a change that never happened.
- Anything the agent can do here, you can do yourself, and the reverse.
