What upgrade_ap_firmware does on Ikuai
AI agents call upgrade_ap_firmware to retrieve information from Ikuai without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why upgrade_ap_firmware is rated Low
Even though upgrade_ap_firmware only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs upgrade_ap_firmware 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 upgrade_ap_firmware, this is the rule to start with:
upgrade_ap_firmware is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 upgrade_ap_firmware call is checked against it from then on.
