WHAT IT DOES

What unifi_get_lldp_neighbors does on UniFi Access MCP

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

RISK

Why unifi_get_lldp_neighbors is rated Low

This tool retrieves network topology information via LLDP discovery—a read-only query operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius is minimal since it only exposes network neighbor information that would be discoverable through standard network tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unifi_get_lldp_neighbors' and description 'Get LLDP neighbor discovery table' indicate a data retrieval operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs unifi_get_lldp_neighbors safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UniFi Access MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For unifi_get_lldp_neighbors, this is the rule to start with:

unifi_get_lldp_neighbors Allowed
