Why listServiceType needs a policy

This tool retrieves and enumerates service type profiles used in ACL and firewall rules. It performs a read-only query operation that retrieves existing configuration data without creating, modifying, or deleting any resources. The pagination suggests it is a simple data retrieval endpoint.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'listServiceType' and description states it 'List service type profiles (paginated)' with 'Returns both predefined and custom service types'. The verb 'list' and 'returns' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

How to control listServiceType

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 listServiceType:

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

listServiceType 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.
