## Why getControllerStatus is rated Low

This tool performs a simple retrieval of controller status metrics (health, running state, uptime, resource usage). It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute commands or trigger external operations. It is purely informational and falls squarely into the Read category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getControllerStatus' and description 'Get the Omada controller health and status, including running state, uptime, and resource usage' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves status information without modifying or executing anything."

## Use case

AI agents call getControllerStatus 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Tplink Omada:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",

    "getControllerStatus": {}
  }
}
```
