WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_clear_bgp_session does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents invoke mikrotik_clear_bgp_session to trigger actions in MikroTik Cursor 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mikrotik_clear_bgp_session needs a policy

Resetting a BGP session is a disruptive operational action that tears down and re-establishes BGP peering, causing temporary loss of routing information and potential network outages. It is not a simple read or write, but an execution of a network operation with significant side effects. It is not permanently destructive (sessions re-establish), so Execute is more appropriate than Destructive.
