AI agents use pfsense_create_system_crl_revoked_certificate to create or update resources in Pfsense — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Pfsense environment.
This tool creates/adds entries to a Certificate Revocation List, which modifies security-critical certificate trust decisions. While reversible (entries can typically be removed), the impact is high because misconfiguring CRLs could revoke legitimate certificates or fail to revoke compromised ones, affecting authentication and trust chains across the firewall.
From the tool's definition Tool name indicates 'create' action on certificate revocation list (CRL) entries; described as part of pfSense REST API v2 with control over 'certificates' and related infrastructure.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
pfsense_create_system_crl_revoked_certificate. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pfsense MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Pfsense MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pfsense_create_system_crl_revoked_certificate: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Pfsense. Nothing to install.
pfsense_create_system_crl_revoked_certificate is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pfsense_create_system_crl_revoked_certificate rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pfsense_create_system_crl_revoked_certificate. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
pfsense_create_system_crl_revoked_certificate is provided by the Pfsense MCP server (abl030/pfsense-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
