What resource does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents call resource 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 resource is rated Low

This tool retrieves resource information (likely CPU, memory, disk stats from a MikroTik/system perspective based on server context). The 'Return' verb and read-only nature of printing resource metrics indicate a pure data retrieval operation with no side effects. Low severity because exposing resource metrics poses minimal risk—it's diagnostic/observability data that helps understand system state.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Return /system/resource/print' — a retrieval operation that queries system resource information without modification.

The rule that runs resource 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 resource, this is the rule to start with:

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