WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_create_dhcp_server does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents use mikrotik_create_dhcp_server 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_create_dhcp_server is rated Medium

This tool creates a new DHCP server configuration on a MikroTik router, which is a reversible modification of router state. It does not execute arbitrary commands, delete data, or move money. However, it has high severity because misconfiguration could disrupt network operations for many clients relying on DHCP, affecting organizational infrastructure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mikrotik_create_dhcp_server' and description 'Creates a DHCP server on MikroTik device' indicate creation of a new network service configuration.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mikrotik_create_dhcp_server 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_create_dhcp_server, this is the rule to start with:

mikrotik_create_dhcp_server Rate-limited

mikrotik_create_dhcp_server 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.
