Gets logs for a specific topic/facility
AI agents call mikrotik_get_logs_by_topic 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 only retrieves historical log data from a MikroTik router. It performs a passive read operation with no side effects, no data modifications, and no irreversible actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could view router logs to gather intelligence but cannot alter system state or cause damage through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves logs for a specific topic/facility without modifying or deleting any data. The name 'get_logs_by_topic' and description 'Gets logs' explicitly indicate a read operation.

Gets logs for a specific topic/facility. 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_get_logs_by_topic: 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_logs_by_topic 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_logs_by_topic 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_logs_by_topic. 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_logs_by_topic 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.
