List all rules in a specific firewall chain (READ-ONLY, safe)
AI agents call mikrotik_list_rules_in_chain 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 firewall chain rules without side effects. It is a query operation that has no impact on system state or configuration. The explicit 'READ-ONLY' designation confirms it performs only data retrieval. Even though firewall rules are security-sensitive, reading them poses minimal risk as no changes are made.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description explicitly states 'READ-ONLY, safe' with no modification or deletion capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all rules in a specific firewall chain (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_rules_in_chain: 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_rules_in_chain 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_rules_in_chain 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_rules_in_chain. 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_rules_in_chain 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.
