WHAT IT DOES

What getAlg does on Tplink Omada

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

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

getAlg Allowed

getAlg is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
