What mikrotik_enable_openvpn_client does on MikroTik Cursor MCP
AI agents invoke mikrotik_enable_openvpn_client 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 mikrotik_enable_openvpn_client is rated High
Enabling an OpenVPN client interface triggers an active network connection attempt to an external VPN endpoint. This is an operational action with external effects — it initiates a network tunnel, potentially routing traffic through a third-party server. It is not merely writing config data; it executes the connection. Misuse could redirect router traffic through malicious VPN endpoints, making severity high.
