WHAT IT DOES

What unifi_toggle_wlan does on UniFi Access MCP

AI agents invoke unifi_toggle_wlan to trigger actions in UniFi Access MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why unifi_toggle_wlan is rated High

Toggling a WLAN/SSID on or off is an operational state change that affects all users of that wireless network. Disabling an SSID can cause a network outage for all connected clients, making this a high-severity action. It is Execute rather than Destructive because the action is reversible (it can be toggled back), but misuse could cause significant disruption.

From the tool's definition 'Toggle a WLAN/SSID on or off' — triggers an external network operation that enables or disables wireless network access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

unifi_toggle_wlan Rate-limited

unifi_toggle_wlan stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
