WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_create_capsman_configuration does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents use mikrotik_create_capsman_configuration 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mikrotik_create_capsman_configuration needs a policy

This is a Write operation because it creates/adds configuration data (CAPsMAN profile) that is reversible through deletion or modification. However, it rates high severity due to the blast radius: misconfigured wireless access point settings by an AI agent could disrupt network connectivity, compromise security policies, or expose wireless networks to unauthorized access.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'create' and description confirms it 'Creates a CAPsMAN configuration profile', establishing that this tool adds new configuration data to a MikroTik router's wireless access point controller system.
