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

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

## Why mikrotik_update_route is rated Medium

The tool modifies network routes, which affects packet forwarding decisions and network topology. While reversible (routes can be reconfigured), the impact is high because misconfigured routes can disrupt network connectivity, redirect traffic unexpectedly, or enable network-level attacks.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'mikrotik_update_route' and description 'Updates an existing route in MikroTik routing table' indicate modification of network routing configuration. This is a reversible change operation that alters router behavior."

## Use case

AI agents use mikrotik_update_route 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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