AI agents use opn_add_icmpv6_rules to create or update resources in OPNsense MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OPNsense MCP Server environment.
The 'add_' prefix combined with firewall rule context classifies this as Write (creates/modifies rules reversibly). While firewall rules significantly affect network behavior and could cause service disruption if misconfigured (justifying high severity), the operation is reversible through rule deletion or modification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'opn_add_icmpv6_rules' indicates creation/addition of firewall rules. Sibling tools like 'opn_add_firewall_rule', 'opn_add_nat_rule', 'opn_add_alias' all follow the 'add_*' pattern for creating or modifying configuration.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access opn_add_icmpv6_rules gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OPNsense MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for opn_add_icmpv6_rules:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"opn_add_icmpv6_rules": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "opn_add_icmpv6_rules_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}opn_add_icmpv6_rules stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

opn_add_icmpv6_rules. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OPNsense MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the OPNsense MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for opn_add_icmpv6_rules: 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 OPNsense MCP Server. Nothing to install.
opn_add_icmpv6_rules is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the opn_add_icmpv6_rules 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 opn_add_icmpv6_rules. 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.
opn_add_icmpv6_rules is provided by the OPNsense MCP Server MCP server (lucamarien/opnsense-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from OPNsense MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
