Get the WAN port status and connectivity information for a specific gateway. Returns WAN IP, DNS, uptime, link speed, TX/RX rates, and connection type for each WAN port. Use listDevices to find the gatewayMac.
AI agents call getGatewayWanStatus 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 queries and retrieves gateway network status information without modifying, deleting, executing code, or creating financial obligations. It is a straightforward informational read operation on network device state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getGatewayWanStatus' and description 'Get the WAN port status and connectivity information' indicates a retrieval operation that returns status data (WAN IP, DNS, uptime, link speed, TX/RX rates, connection type) with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getGatewayWanStatus 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 getGatewayWanStatus:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getGatewayWanStatus": {}
}
}getGatewayWanStatus is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the WAN port status and connectivity information for a specific gateway. Returns WAN IP, DNS, uptime, link speed, TX/RX rates, and connection type for each WAN port. Use listDevices to find the gatewayMac. 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 getGatewayWanStatus: 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.
getGatewayWanStatus 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 getGatewayWanStatus 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 getGatewayWanStatus. 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.
getGatewayWanStatus 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.
