What pt_generate_script does on Packet Tracer MCP

AI agents invoke pt_generate_script to trigger actions in Packet Tracer 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.

Why pt_generate_script needs a policy

This tool generates executable JavaScript scripts for PTBuilder, which are intended to be run/executed to build or configure network topologies in Cisco Packet Tracer. Script generation is a precursor to execution and the output is executable code that can configure network devices, making it Execute category. Severity is high because misuse could generate scripts that misconfigure or disrupt network topologies.

From the tool's definition 'Genera el script JavaScript de PTBuilder' — generates a JavaScript execution script for Packet Tracer Builder

How to control pt_generate_script

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Packet Tracer MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pt_generate_script:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pt_generate_script": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "pt_generate_script_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

pt_generate_script stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Packet Tracer MCP — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on pt_generate_script? +

Register the Packet Tracer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pt_generate_script: 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 Packet Tracer MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is pt_generate_script? +

pt_generate_script is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit pt_generate_script? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pt_generate_script 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.

How do I block pt_generate_script completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pt_generate_script. 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.
