What change_admin_password does on Ikuai
AI agents use change_admin_password 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 change_admin_password is rated Medium
This tool modifies the administrator password for the iKuai router. While technically a Write operation (modifying existing credentials), it carries critical severity because an AI agent misusing this tool could lock out all legitimate administrators from the router, effectively granting full control of the network infrastructure to an attacker.
From the tool's definition 修改管理员密码 — 'change admin password'

The rule that runs change_admin_password 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 change_admin_password, this is the rule to start with:
change_admin_password 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 change_admin_password call is checked against it from then on.
