WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_add_bgp_network does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents use mikrotik_add_bgp_network to create or update resources in MikroTik Cursor MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MikroTik Cursor MCP environment.

RISK

Why mikrotik_add_bgp_network is rated Medium

This tool creates a new BGP network advertisement entry on the MikroTik router. It modifies routing configuration by adding a network to be announced via BGP, which is a write operation. The blast radius is high because misconfiguring BGP advertisements can disrupt routing for many downstream networks, potentially causing widespread connectivity issues or route leaks.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mikrotik_add_bgp_network safely

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

mikrotik_add_bgp_network Rate-limited

mikrotik_add_bgp_network stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
