## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "mikrotik_create_gre_tunnel",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why mikrotik_create_gre_tunnel is rated Medium

This tool creates a new GRE tunnel interface on a MikroTik router. Creating network tunnels is a Write operation (new configuration object), but carries high severity because it can be misused to route traffic through unauthorized endpoints, bypass security controls, or establish covert channels between networks.

From the tool's own definition: "Create GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel"

## Use case

AI agents use mikrotik_create_gre_tunnel 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MikroTik Cursor MCP:
