## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "mikrotik_test_dns_query",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why mikrotik_test_dns_query is rated High

Performing a DNS query is an active network operation that sends packets to DNS servers and retrieves results. It has no persistent side effects but does trigger an external operation (DNS resolution), making it Execute rather than pure Read. The blast radius is low since it only queries DNS and cannot modify configuration.

From the tool's own definition: "Tests a DNS query"

## Use case

AI agents invoke mikrotik_test_dns_query to trigger actions in MikroTik Cursor MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MikroTik Cursor MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mikrotik_test_dns_query": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mikrotik_test_dns_query_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
