What packages does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents call packages to retrieve information from Mcp Control Plane without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why packages is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays package information from a system (likely MikroTik based on the /system/package/print path syntax, which is a read-only API endpoint). There are no side effects, data modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial implications. It is a simple information retrieval operation with minimal risk if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'packages' and description 'Return /system/package/print' indicates a query/print operation that retrieves package information without modifying state. The verb 'print' and 'return' denote read-only data retrieval.

The rule that runs packages safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Control Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For packages, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "packages": {}
  }
}
