It performs a read operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. While the information retrieved relates to security settings, the tool itself only fetches configuration state, making it a Read operation with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getAttack...' with verb 'Get' and description states 'Get the DDoS and attack defense configuration' - retrieves configuration data without modification or execution of network operations.

How to control getAttackDefenseSetting

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getAttackDefenseSetting": {}
  }
}

getAttackDefenseSetting is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Tplink Omada — 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.
