WHAT IT DOES

What enable_ftp does on Ikuai

AI agents use enable_ftp 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.

RISK

Why enable_ftp is rated Medium

This tool changes the operational state of a network service (FTP) on the router, which is a reversible configuration modification. It is not destructive (the service state can be toggled back), not financial, and not a direct data query. While it could have security implications if misused to expose the router to FTP-based attacks, the action itself is a Write operation that modifies system settings.

From the tool's definition Tool name: enable_ftp. Description: '启用/禁用 FTP 服务' (Enable/disable FTP service). The tool modifies service configuration state on the router.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs enable_ftp 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 enable_ftp, this is the rule to start with:

enable_ftp Rate-limited

enable_ftp 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 enable_ftp call is checked against it from then on.
