mikrotik_enable_package · MikroTik Cursor MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_enable_package does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents invoke mikrotik_enable_package 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_package needs a policy

Enabling a package and triggering a reboot is an operational action that affects the router's running state. A reboot causes a service interruption for all traffic passing through the MikroTik router, making this a high-severity Execute action. It's not purely Write (data modification) since it involves triggering a system restart, and it's not Destructive since it doesn't delete data irreversibly.
