Remove firewall RAW rule
AI agents call mikrotik_remove_raw_rule 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.
This tool irreversibly deletes firewall rules from a MikroTik router. Removal of RAW firewall rules (which operate at the earliest stage of packet processing in RouterOS) can have immediate and severe consequences: blocking legitimate traffic, enabling malicious traffic, disrupting network connectivity, or exposing the router to attacks.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'remove' and 'rule'; description confirms deletion operation ('Remove firewall RAW rule'). Firewall rules, once deleted, cannot be automatically recovered without backups.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove firewall RAW rule. 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_raw_rule: 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_raw_rule 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_raw_rule 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_raw_rule. 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_raw_rule 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.
