Why getGridClientHistory needs a policy

This tool queries historical data about a client's past connections. It retrieves connection metadata (timestamps, SSID, traffic, authentication type) without side effects, making it a Read operation. While the Omada server permits arbitrary API calls, this specific tool is narrowly scoped to data retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getGridClientHistory' and description 'Get per-client connection history' indicate a retrieval operation. The description explicitly states it 'Returns past connection sessions' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of commands.

How to control getGridClientHistory

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 getGridClientHistory:

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

getGridClientHistory 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.
