Low Risk

Why listClientsActivity needs a policy

listClientsActivity retrieves historical dashboard statistics about client activity without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. The operation has no side effects and presents minimal risk even if called repeatedly or with unexpected parameters, as it only surfaces existing monitoring data. This is a straightforward Read category tool.

From the tool's definition Tool returns 'time-series data showing new, active, and disconnected clients' with no mutation, deletion, or execution capabilities. The description explicitly states it 'Get[s] client activity statistics' which is a read-only query operation.

How to control listClientsActivity

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 listClientsActivity:

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

listClientsActivity 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.
