## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "mikrotik_ping",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why mikrotik_ping is rated High

This tool executes a ping command on the MikroTik router, which triggers an active network operation (ICMP requests) to an external host. It does not read stored data or modify configuration, but it does execute a network action whose effects depend on the target argument. Severity is low as ping is a diagnostic tool with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Ping a host from the MikroTik router"

## Use case

AI agents invoke mikrotik_ping to trigger actions in MikroTik Cursor MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MikroTik Cursor MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mikrotik_ping": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mikrotik_ping_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
