WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_enable_ip_service does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents use mikrotik_enable_ip_service 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_enable_ip_service is rated Medium

Enabling an IP service (e.g., Telnet, FTP, HTTP, Winbox, SSH) exposes additional attack surface on the router. This is a reversible configuration change (Write), but the blast radius is high because enabling insecure or unintended services could allow unauthorized access to the router, leading to full network compromise.

From the tool's definition 'Enable an IP service' — activates a network-facing service on the MikroTik router
