What mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server does on MikroTik Cursor MCP
AI agents call mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server to permanently remove resources in MikroTik Cursor MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server is rated Critical
Removing a DHCP server is an irreversible action that disables critical network functionality. While the configuration may be recoverable from backups, the immediate effect is to destroy active service provisioning. This falls under Destructive rather than Execute because it specifically removes/deletes infrastructure, and the damage persists until explicitly restored.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'remove' and description states 'Removes a DHCP server from MikroTik device' — this deletes network infrastructure configuration that cannot be trivially restored without manual intervention.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server 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_remove_dhcp_server, this is the rule to start with:
mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect MikroTik Cursor MCP, apply this rule, and every mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server
Removes a DHCP server from MikroTik device. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the MikroTik Cursor MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the MikroTik Cursor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server: 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_remove_dhcp_server is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mikrotik_remove_dhcp_server 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_remove_dhcp_server. 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_remove_dhcp_server 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.
