[DEPRECATED] Use getBandwidthControl instead. Same GET .../bandwidth-control endpoint. Get the global bandwidth control configuration for the site. Returns whether bandwidth control is enabled and general settings.
AI agents call getBandwidthCtrl to retrieve information from Tplink Omada without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves bandwidth control configuration settings for a site without side effects. The description clearly indicates it performs a GET operation that returns read-only configuration data. Despite the server's general capability to execute arbitrary API calls, this specific tool is constrained to querying bandwidth control settings.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get' prefix and description explicitly states 'Get the global bandwidth control configuration' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary commands. Returns configuration status only.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getBandwidthCtrl gives an agent:
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 getBandwidthCtrl:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getBandwidthCtrl": {}
}
}getBandwidthCtrl is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
[DEPRECATED] Use getBandwidthControl instead. Same GET .../bandwidth-control endpoint. Get the global bandwidth control configuration for the site. Returns whether bandwidth control is enabled and general settings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tplink Omada MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tplink Omada MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getBandwidthCtrl: 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 Tplink Omada. Nothing to install.
getBandwidthCtrl is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the getBandwidthCtrl 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 getBandwidthCtrl. 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.
getBandwidthCtrl is provided by the Tplink Omada MCP server (migueltvms/tplink-omada-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Tplink Omada, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
