Why getMeshStatistics needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries mesh network statistics for diagnostic purposes. It has no side effects, does not modify any configuration or state, and merely returns performance metrics.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getMeshStatistics' and description state it 'Returns wireless backhaul link quality, signal strength, throughput, and hop count' - purely retrieval of network diagnostic data with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

How to control getMeshStatistics

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 getMeshStatistics:

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

getMeshStatistics 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.
