WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_move_nat_rule does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents use mikrotik_move_nat_rule to create or update resources in MikroTik Cursor MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MikroTik Cursor MCP environment.

RISK

Why mikrotik_move_nat_rule is rated Medium

Moving a NAT rule changes the order of packet processing in MikroTik's firewall chain, which modifies network behavior and routing. This is a reversible configuration change (the rule can be moved back), so it qualifies as Write rather than Destructive. However, reordering NAT rules can have significant side effects on network traffic flow and security posture if misapplied by an agent, justifying medium severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mikrotik_move_nat_rule' and description 'Moves a NAT rule to a different position in the chain' indicate reordering/modification of firewall configuration without deletion.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mikrotik_move_nat_rule safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and MikroTik Cursor MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For mikrotik_move_nat_rule, this is the rule to start with:

mikrotik_move_nat_rule Rate-limited

mikrotik_move_nat_rule stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
