# get_bgp_routes_realtime Get real-time BGP routes for a specific IP prefix using public route collectors (RouteViews and RIPE RIS). Shows current routing state including AS paths, RPKI validation status, and visibility across peers. Useful for troubleshooting routing issues and verifying route announcements. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_bgp_routes_realtime`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/get-bgp-routes-realtime ## Facts - Tool: `get_bgp_routes_realtime` - Server: Cloudflare (`https://builds.mcp.cloudflare.com/sse`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare.md - Homepage: https://github.com/cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade D, identity verified - Server auth posture: gated - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_bgp_routes_realtime", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_bgp_routes_realtime is rated Low This tool queries and retrieves publicly available BGP routing information from RouteViews and RIPE RIS route collectors. It is a read-only operation that returns observational data about network routing state with no side effects. Even if misused by an AI agent, it cannot modify infrastructure, execute code, delete data, or incur financial cost. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_bgp_routes_realtime' and description states it 'Get[s] real-time BGP routes' and 'Shows current routing state' using public route collectors. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations are described." ## Use case AI agents call get_bgp_routes_realtime to retrieve information from Cloudflare 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 Cloudflare: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_bgp_routes_realtime": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Cloudflare (91) - `container_file_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/container-file-delete.md - `container_exec` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/container-exec.md - `container_initialize` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/container-initialize.md - `dex_create_remote_pcap` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-create-remote-pcap.md - `dex_create_remote_warp_diag` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-create-remote-warp-diag.md - `container_file_read` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/container-file-read.md - `container_files_list` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/container-files-list.md - `container_ping` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/container-ping.md - `dex_analyze_warp_diag` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-analyze-warp-diag.md - `dex_explore_remote_warp_diag_output` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-explore-remote-warp-diag-output.md - `dex_fleet_status_live` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-fleet-status-live.md - `dex_fleet_status_logs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-fleet-status-logs.md - `dex_fleet_status_over_time` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-fleet-status-over-time.md - `dex_http_test_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-http-test-details.md - `dex_list_colos` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-list-colos.md - `dex_list_remote_capture_eligible_devices` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-list-remote-capture-eligible-devices.md - `dex_list_remote_captures` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-list-remote-captures.md - `dex_list_remote_warp_diag_contents` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-list-remote-warp-diag-contents.md - `dex_list_tests` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-list-tests.md - `dex_list_warp_change_events` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-list-warp-change-events.md - `dex_test_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-test-statistics.md - `dex_traceroute_test_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-traceroute-test-details.md - `dex_traceroute_test_network_path` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-traceroute-test-network-path.md - `dex_traceroute_test_result_network_path` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dex-traceroute-test-result-network-path.md - `dns_report` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/dns-report.md - `get_ai_data` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/get-ai-data.md - `get_annotations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/get-annotations.md - `get_as_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/get-as-details.md - `get_as_relationships` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/get-as-relationships.md - `get_as_set` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare/get-as-set.md - …and 61 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/cloudflare.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
