Mueve un dispositivo a nuevas coordenadas en el canvas de Packet Tracer.
AI agents use pt_move_device to create or update resources in Packet Tracer MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Packet Tracer MCP environment.
This tool modifies the visual layout of network topology by repositioning a device on the canvas. It is reversible (device can be moved again) and does not execute network operations, delete resources, or cause irreversible changes. This is a typical Write operation that updates configuration state without side effects on the actual network simulation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pt_move_device' and description 'Mueve un dispositivo a nuevas coordenadas en el canvas de Packet Tracer' (Moves a device to new coordinates in the Packet Tracer canvas) indicates modification of device positioning/layout properties.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access pt_move_device gives an agent:
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_move_device:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"pt_move_device": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "pt_move_device_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}pt_move_device 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.

Mueve un dispositivo a nuevas coordenadas en el canvas de Packet Tracer. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Packet Tracer MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Packet Tracer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pt_move_device: 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.
pt_move_device 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 pt_move_device 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 pt_move_device. 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.
pt_move_device is provided by the Packet Tracer MCP server (mats2208/mcp-packet-tracer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Packet Tracer MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
