AI agents use aviation_stop_tracking to create or update resources in AetherLink SDR MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AetherLink SDR MCP environment.
Stopping a tracking session modifies the state of an ongoing operation (cancels it), which is a reversible write-like action. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or have financial implications. Severity is low since it merely halts monitoring rather than causing harm, though stopping tracking could have operational implications in contexts where continuous monitoring is critical.
From the tool's definition 'Stop tracking aircraft' — terminates an active tracking operation
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access aviation_stop_tracking gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AetherLink SDR MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for aviation_stop_tracking:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"aviation_stop_tracking": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "aviation_stop_tracking_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}aviation_stop_tracking stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Stop tracking aircraft. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AetherLink SDR MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the AetherLink SDR MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for aviation_stop_tracking: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches AetherLink SDR MCP. Nothing to install.
aviation_stop_tracking is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the aviation_stop_tracking rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for aviation_stop_tracking. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
aviation_stop_tracking is provided by the AetherLink SDR MCP server (n-erickson/aetherlink-sdr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from AetherLink SDR MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
