WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_set_ipv6_forward does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents use mikrotik_set_ipv6_forward to create or update resources in MikroTik Cursor MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MikroTik Cursor MCP environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mikrotik_set_ipv6_forward needs a policy

This tool modifies the IPv6 forwarding configuration on a MikroTik router. Toggling IPv6 forwarding is a reversible network configuration change (Write), but the blast radius is high because disabling forwarding can disrupt all IPv6 traffic routing through the device, potentially causing widespread network outages across connected networks.
