Why getLanClientCount needs a policy

This tool retrieves statistics about client distribution across different LAN segments. It performs a read-only query of existing data with no capacity to modify, delete, or execute commands. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this would only access informational data about network client counts, not sensitive authentication credentials or ability to alter network configuration.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getLanClientCount' and description 'Get client distribution breakdown across LAN segments' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing data without modification or side effects.

How to control getLanClientCount

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 getLanClientCount:

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

getLanClientCount 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.
