WHAT IT DOES

What wifi_adapter_reset does on Mcp Windows

AI agents invoke wifi_adapter_reset to trigger actions in Mcp Windows. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why wifi_adapter_reset is rated High

This tool disables and re-enables a WiFi adapter, which is an external hardware operation with real system effects (network disruption). It's not purely destructive (it's reversible) but it executes a system-level hardware operation that could disrupt connectivity for any running network-dependent processes.

wifi_adapter_reset Rate-limited

wifi_adapter_reset stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
