# mikrotik_download_file Downloads a file from MikroTik device Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `mikrotik_download_file`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-download-file ## Facts - Tool: `mikrotik_download_file` - Server: MikroTik Cursor MCP (`kevinpez/mikrotik-cursor-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/kevinpez/mikrotik-cursor-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "mikrotik_download_file", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why mikrotik_download_file is rated Low The tool retrieves/downloads file data from a MikroTik router. This is a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. Even though network configuration data might be sensitive, the action itself is passive data retrieval. Severity is low because downloading files does not directly impact router operations or cause harm unless the retrieved data itself is misused by subsequent tools. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'mikrotik_download_file' and description states it 'Downloads a file from MikroTik device' — a retrieval operation with no modification or destructive side effects." ## Use case AI agents call mikrotik_download_file to retrieve information from MikroTik Cursor MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MikroTik Cursor MCP: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "mikrotik_download_file": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on MikroTik Cursor MCP (451) - `mikrotik_clear_address_list` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-clear-address-list.md - `mikrotik_clear_logs` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-clear-logs.md - `mikrotik_delete_custom_chain` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-delete-custom-chain.md - `mikrotik_remove_address_list_entry` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-address-list-entry.md - `mikrotik_remove_bonding_interface` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-bonding-interface.md - `mikrotik_remove_bridge_port` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-bridge-port.md - `mikrotik_remove_bridge_vlan` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-bridge-vlan.md - `mikrotik_remove_capsman_configuration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-capsman-configuration.md - `mikrotik_remove_capsman_datapath` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-capsman-datapath.md - `mikrotik_remove_capsman_provisioning_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-capsman-provisioning-rule.md - `mikrotik_remove_certificate` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-certificate.md - `mikrotik_remove_container` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-container.md - `mikrotik_remove_container_env` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-container-env.md - `mikrotik_remove_container_mount` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-container-mount.md - `mikrotik_remove_container_veth` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-container-veth.md - `mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-dhcp-server.md - `mikrotik_remove_dhcpv6_client` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-dhcpv6-client.md - `mikrotik_remove_dhcpv6_lease` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-dhcpv6-lease.md - `mikrotik_remove_dhcpv6_option` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-dhcpv6-option.md - `mikrotik_remove_dhcpv6_server` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-dhcpv6-server.md - `mikrotik_remove_dns_static` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-dns-static.md - `mikrotik_remove_eoip_tunnel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-eoip-tunnel.md - `mikrotik_remove_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-file.md - `mikrotik_remove_filter_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-filter-rule.md - `mikrotik_remove_gre_tunnel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-gre-tunnel.md - `mikrotik_remove_hotspot_server` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-hotspot-server.md - `mikrotik_remove_ip_address` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-ip-address.md - `mikrotik_remove_ip_pool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-ip-pool.md - `mikrotik_remove_ipv6_address` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-ipv6-address.md - `mikrotik_remove_ipv6_address_list_entry` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp/mikrotik-remove-ipv6-address-list-entry.md - …and 421 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/kevinpez-mikrotik-cursor-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
