Restores a system backup on MikroTik device
AI agents call mikrotik_restore_backup 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.
Restoring a backup on a network router replaces the entire active configuration with the backup contents. This is an irreversible overwrite of the current system state; any configuration changes made since the backup was taken will be permanently lost.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Restores a system backup on 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_restore_backup: 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_restore_backup 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_restore_backup 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_restore_backup. 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_restore_backup 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.
