Exports logs to a file on the MikroTik device
AI agents call mikrotik_export_logs to retrieve information from MikroTik Cursor MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Exporting logs is primarily a read/retrieval operation — it reads existing log data and writes it to a file. While it does create a file on the device (a minor write side effect), the primary purpose is capturing/exporting existing log data for review. The blast radius is low since it doesn't modify network configuration or expose sensitive controls.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Exports logs to a file on the MikroTik device. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MikroTik Cursor MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MikroTik Cursor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mikrotik_export_logs: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches MikroTik Cursor MCP. Nothing to install.
mikrotik_export_logs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mikrotik_export_logs rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for mikrotik_export_logs. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
mikrotik_export_logs is provided by the MikroTik Cursor MCP server (kevinpez/mikrotik-cursor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
