WHAT IT DOES

What mikrotik_set_safe_mode_timeout does on MikroTik Cursor MCP

AI agents use mikrotik_set_safe_mode_timeout 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_safe_mode_timeout needs a policy

This tool modifies a router configuration parameter (Safe Mode timeout). It's a reversible write operation — changing a timeout value. However, misuse could impact network safety controls: Safe Mode in RouterOS automatically reverts changes if the session disconnects, so altering this timeout affects how long potentially dangerous uncommitted changes persist, giving it medium severity.

From the tool's definition Set the Safe Mode timeout period (1-60 minutes)
