What mikrotik_remove_user does on MikroTik Cursor MCP
AI agents call mikrotik_remove_user 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_user is rated Critical
Removing a user account is an irreversible destructive action that cannot be undone without manual recreating the account and reassigning permissions. This is more severe than Write (which is reversible) and falls squarely into Destructive category. The blast radius is high because unauthorized user removal could lock administrators out of router management or disrupt legitimate access.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'remove' and description states 'Removes a user from MikroTik device' — this irreversibly deletes user account access credentials and configurations.
