Lists certificates on MikroTik device (READ-ONLY, safe)
AI agents call mikrotik_list_certificates 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 performs a read operation that retrieves certificate information from a MikroTik device without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The explicit READ-ONLY designation confirms it has no side effects. Severity is low because listing certificates reveals certificate metadata but does not expose private keys or enable unauthorized access to the router itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'mikrotik_list_certificates' with description explicitly stating 'READ-ONLY, safe' and 'Lists certificates' indicates data retrieval without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Lists certificates on MikroTik device (READ-ONLY, safe). 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_list_certificates: 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_list_certificates 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_list_certificates 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_list_certificates. 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_list_certificates 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.
