Why get_static_routes needs a policy

This tool retrieves static route configuration data from the UniFi controller for analysis purposes. It performs a read-only query with no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, execute commands, or move resources. The verb 'Get' and context of 'analysis' confirm this is a passive data retrieval operation, posing minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_static_routes' and description 'Get static routes for advanced network routing analysis' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or destructive capability.

How to control get_static_routes

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and UniFi MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_static_routes:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_static_routes": {}
  }
}

get_static_routes is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register UniFi MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
