Why opn_ipv6_status needs a policy

Status queries are non-destructive information retrieval operations with minimal blast radius. Even if the AI misuses this tool, it only reads data. The tool name is sufficiently clear to indicate a Read operation despite the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'opn_ipv6_status' indicates retrieval of IPv6 status information. The description is empty, but the naming convention and context (status queries are typical read operations) strongly suggest this fetches firewall IPv6 configuration or connectivity…

How to control opn_ipv6_status

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_ipv6_status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "opn_ipv6_status": {}
  }
}

opn_ipv6_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OPNsense MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
