WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_force_vrrp_master does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents invoke mikrotik_force_vrrp_master 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_force_vrrp_master needs a policy

This tool actively triggers a network topology change by forcing a VRRP failover, causing one router to take over as master. This is an external operational effect on live network infrastructure — it can disrupt traffic routing and high-availability setups. It modifies runtime state and triggers failover behavior, making it Execute.
