AI agents use sdr_disconnect 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.
This tool modifies the runtime state of a connected SDR device by severing the connection, which is a reversible action (the device can be reconnected). It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or trigger irreversible changes, placing it in the Write category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sdr_disconnect' and description 'Disconnect from SDR hardware' indicate a state-changing operation that modifies the connection state of radio hardware.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sdr_disconnect 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 sdr_disconnect:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"sdr_disconnect": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "sdr_disconnect_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}sdr_disconnect 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.
Disconnect from SDR hardware. 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 sdr_disconnect: 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.
sdr_disconnect 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 sdr_disconnect 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 sdr_disconnect. 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.
sdr_disconnect 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.
Free to start. No card required.
