getRetryAndDroppedRate
Get wireless retry rate and dropped packet rate over a time range. High retry rates indicate RF interference or weak signal; high drop rates indicate capacity or hardware issues. Useful for diagnosing WiFi quality problems. start and end are Unix timestamps in seconds.

What getRetryAndDroppedRate does on Tplink Omada
AI agents call getRetryAndDroppedRate 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.
Why getRetryAndDroppedRate is rated Low
This tool only reads and returns diagnostic telemetry data from the Omada controller. It accepts start and end timestamps as parameters and retrieves historical metrics without making changes to network configuration, executing code, or triggering side effects. The worst-case misuse (returning stale or incorrect diagnostic data) poses minimal risk. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves wireless retry rate and dropped packet rate metrics over a time range—purely a query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of commands.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getRetryAndDroppedRate safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tplink Omada, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getRetryAndDroppedRate, this is the rule to start with:
getRetryAndDroppedRate is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tplink Omada, apply this rule, and every getRetryAndDroppedRate call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about getRetryAndDroppedRate
Get wireless retry rate and dropped packet rate over a time range. High retry rates indicate RF interference or weak signal; high drop rates indicate capacity or hardware issues. Useful for diagnosing WiFi quality problems. start and end are Unix timestamps in seconds. 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 getRetryAndDroppedRate: 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.
getRetryAndDroppedRate 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 getRetryAndDroppedRate 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 getRetryAndDroppedRate. 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.
getRetryAndDroppedRate 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.
