What add_vlan does on Ikuai
AI agents use add_vlan to create or update resources in Ikuai, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ikuai environment.
Why add_vlan is rated Medium
An AI agent can call add_vlan faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Ikuai by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_vlan safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ikuai, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_vlan, this is the rule to start with:
add_vlan stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ikuai, apply this rule, and every add_vlan call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about add_vlan
添加 VLAN. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ikuai MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Ikuai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_vlan: 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 Ikuai. Nothing to install.
add_vlan 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 add_vlan 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 add_vlan. 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.
add_vlan is provided by the Ikuai MCP server (gxxHuang/ikuai-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
