Why getVpnSettings needs a policy

This tool retrieves VPN configuration data, which is a read operation. However, the severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because VPN settings may contain sensitive security configuration details (encryption algorithms, authentication methods, pre-shared keys, or tunnel parameters) that could be valuable to an adversary for planning network attacks.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getVpnSettings' and description 'Get VPN configuration settings for a site' indicate a query operation that retrieves VPN settings without modification.

How to control getVpnSettings

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 getVpnSettings:

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

getVpnSettings 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.
