## Why pfsense_get_firewall_traffic_shaper_limiter is rated Low

This is a read-only operation that queries traffic shaper limiter settings from the pfSense firewall. While it does not modify data, the medium severity reflects that detailed knowledge of firewall traffic control configuration could help an AI agent plan attacks or understand network defenses to evade them.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get' and description shows HTTP GET endpoint. Retrieves firewall traffic shaper limiter configuration data without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call pfsense_get_firewall_traffic_shaper_limiter to retrieve information from Pfsense without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Pfsense:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pfsense_get_firewall_traffic_shaper_limiter": {}
  }
}
```
