Gets DNS cache statistics
AI agents call mikrotik_get_dns_cache_statistics 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.
This tool retrieves operational statistics about DNS cache behavior. It performs a query operation with no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. While the server as a whole manages MikroTik routers (which could have broad network impact), this specific tool is narrowly scoped to reading diagnostic information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_dns_cache_statistics' and description 'Gets DNS cache statistics' indicate retrieval of metrics/statistics with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. The 'get' verb and 'statistics' noun confirm read-only operation.

Register the MikroTik Cursor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mikrotik_get_dns_cache_statistics: 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_get_dns_cache_statistics 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_get_dns_cache_statistics 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_get_dns_cache_statistics. 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_get_dns_cache_statistics 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.
