## Why getSwitchGeneralConfig is rated Low

This tool retrieves switch configuration data without modifying state, executing commands, or triggering external actions. It is a straightforward read operation that queries existing device settings. The severity is low because unauthorized access to switch configuration details poses minimal immediate risk compared to tools that modify network settings or execute arbitrary operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Get[s] general configuration for a switch' and retrieves settings like 'device name, LED settings, LLDP settings, flow control, and other global switch parameters.' The verb 'Get' and the list of read-only configuration parameters…"

## Use case

AI agents call getSwitchGeneralConfig 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Tplink Omada:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
