WHAT IT DOES

What network_interface_create does on Nasbridge

AI agents use network_interface_create to create or update resources in Nasbridge, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Nasbridge environment.

RISK

Why network_interface_create is rated Medium

This tool creates new network interface configurations (VLAN, bridge, or bond/LAGG) but does not immediately apply them—changes are staged and require explicit commit. This is a Write operation: it modifies system state reversibly. Severity is high because misconfigured network interfaces on a NAS could cause loss of access or network isolation, affecting availability and potentially data access.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Create a new network interface' and mentions staging changes until committed with network_commit_changes, indicating reversible network configuration modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs network_interface_create safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nasbridge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For network_interface_create, this is the rule to start with:

network_interface_create Rate-limited

network_interface_create 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nasbridge, apply this rule, and every network_interface_create call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about network_interface_create

What does the network_interface_create tool do? +

Create a new network interface (VLAN, bridge, or bond/LAGG). Network changes are staged until committed with network_commit_changes. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Nasbridge MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on network_interface_create? +

Register the Nasbridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for network_interface_create: 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 Nasbridge. Nothing to install.

What risk level is network_interface_create? +

network_interface_create is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit network_interface_create? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the network_interface_create 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.

How do I block network_interface_create completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for network_interface_create. 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.

What MCP server provides network_interface_create? +

network_interface_create is provided by the Nasbridge MCP server (maverick0628/nasbridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
