The paper investigates whether locally deployed large language models can automate hardware design workflows that involve repetitive, dependency-ordered operations using specialized tools. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is created to emulate a proprietary hardware design tool, and a benchmark tests single and multi-step edits, invalid requests, misspelled prompts, and multi-server contexts. Seven open-source models are evaluated across different pipeline choices, revealing that strong models can nearly fully cover expected calls, but reliability hinges on task structure and agent configuration, with comprehensive tool descriptions reducing failures and multi-agent setups aiding weaker models at the cost of extra calls.

The paper introduces a safety‑bounded gateway that translates IEEE 11073 Service‑Oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for medical AI agents. It exposes device metrics, alarms, context references, and semantic metadata as read‑only resources, while representing selected action affordances as policy‑validated dry‑run tools, ensuring that agent requests never trigger actual device operations. A Python prototype demonstrates fault and lifecycle experiments, deterministic baselines, and multi‑model agent evaluation, showing improved semantic conformity and preservation of the no‑execution boundary.

arXiv:2607. 25076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every major wave of platform software follows the same arc: an initial period of experimentation with competing frameworks and ad-hoc implementations, followed by the articulation of a small set of stable abstractions with well-defined semantics, and finally consolidation around those abstractions into a platform that applications can portably target.
