MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous AetherLink SDR MCP tools

Execute · Medium aviation_track_aircraft This tool triggers execution of dump1090 (or similar ADS-B decoder) to actively monitor and decode aviation signals. Execute · High ism_start_scanning This tool executes an external command/operation (rtl_433 scanner) that actively initiates hardware-based radio frequency scanning. Execute · Medium ism_stop_scanning This tool executes a command that modifies the operational state of SDR hardware by stopping an ongoing scan. Execute · Medium marine_stop_tracking This tool executes a command to terminate an active tracking operation on a hardware device (SDR).

19 of AetherLink SDR MCP's 26 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control AetherLink SDR MCP

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AetherLink SDR MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "audio_record_start": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "audio_record_start_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "aviation_get_aircraft": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "aviation_get_aircraft_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register AetherLink SDR MCP — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about AetherLink SDR MCP

How do I prevent bulk modifications through AetherLink SDR MCP? +

The AetherLink SDR MCP server has 7 write tools including audio_record_start, audio_record_stop, aviation_stop_tracking. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach AetherLink SDR MCP.

How many tools does the AetherLink SDR MCP server expose? +

26 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 7 are read-only. 19 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on AetherLink SDR MCP? +

Register the AetherLink SDR MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every AetherLink SDR MCP tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 26 AetherLink SDR MCP tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
