# unifi_trigger_rf_scan A execute tool on the UniFi Access MCP MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `unifi_trigger_rf_scan`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-trigger-rf-scan ## Facts - Tool: `unifi_trigger_rf_scan` - Server: UniFi Access MCP (`pypi:unifi-protect-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:unifi-protect-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/sirkirby/unifi-mcp - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "unifi_trigger_rf_scan", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why unifi_trigger_rf_scan is rated High This tool triggers an active scan operation on access control hardware, which is an external operation that performs side effects (RF scanning) but is reversible and not destructive. It does not retrieve data passively (Read), create/modify persistent data (Write), delete data (Destructive), or move money (Financial). From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'unifi_trigger_rf_scan' indicates triggering an RF (radio frequency) scan on UniFi Access hardware. The 'trigger' verb implies initiating an external operation whose effects depend on system state and scan parameters." ## Use case AI agents invoke unifi_trigger_rf_scan 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches UniFi Access MCP: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "unifi_trigger_rf_scan": { "limits": [ { "counter": "unifi_trigger_rf_scan_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on UniFi Access MCP (271) - `access_delete_visitor` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-delete-visitor.md - `access_revoke_credential` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-revoke-credential.md - `protect_alarm_delete_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-alarm-delete-rule.md - `protect_delete_known_face` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-delete-known-face.md - `protect_delete_known_license_plate` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-delete-known-license-plate.md - `protect_delete_liveview` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-delete-liveview.md - `protect_delete_recording` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-delete-recording.md - `unifi_delete_acl_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-acl-rule.md - `unifi_delete_ap_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-ap-group.md - `unifi_delete_backup` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-backup.md - `unifi_delete_client_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-client-group.md - `unifi_delete_content_filter` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-content-filter.md - `unifi_delete_dns_record` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-dns-record.md - `unifi_delete_dynamic_dns` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-dynamic-dns.md - `unifi_delete_firewall_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-firewall-group.md - `unifi_delete_firewall_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-firewall-policy.md - `unifi_delete_oon_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-oon-policy.md - `unifi_delete_port_forward` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-port-forward.md - `unifi_delete_port_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-port-profile.md - `unifi_delete_wlan` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-delete-wlan.md - `unifi_forget_client` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-forget-client.md - `unifi_revoke_voucher` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-revoke-voucher.md - `unifi_unauthorize_guest` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/unifi-unauthorize-guest.md - `access_lock_door` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-lock-door.md - `access_reboot_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-reboot-device.md - `access_unlock_door` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/access-unlock-door.md - `protect_ptz_move` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-ptz-move.md - `protect_ptz_preset` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-ptz-preset.md - `protect_reboot_camera` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-reboot-camera.md - `protect_trigger_chime` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp/protect-trigger-chime.md - …and 241 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-sirkirby-unifi-access-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
