WHAT IT DOES

What get_system_routes does on OPNsense MCP Server

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

RISK

Why get_system_routes is rated Low

This tool retrieves network routing information for visibility and monitoring purposes. It has no side effects, does not modify system configuration, and poses minimal risk even if invoked by an AI agent. The blast radius is limited to information disclosure, which in a firewall management context is expected operational behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval only: 'Get system routing table' with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. The verb 'get' and the informational nature (querying routing table state) confirm read-only access.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_system_routes safely

get_system_routes Allowed

get_system_routes is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
