WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_enable_bridge_vlan_filtering does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents invoke mikrotik_enable_bridge_vlan_filtering 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_enable_bridge_vlan_filtering needs a policy

Enabling VLAN filtering on a bridge is a network state change that actively modifies how traffic is processed. This is not a simple write/create operation — it activates a filtering mode that can disrupt network connectivity for devices on that bridge if misconfigured. It falls under Execute as it triggers an external operational change on a live network device via RouterOS API/SSH.

From the tool's definition 'Enables VLAN filtering on a bridge' — this triggers a network configuration change on the router that affects traffic flow and VLAN segmentation
