List WAN interface definitions at a site. Returns: id, name only (verified against 10.5.43 — the Integration API exposes no live link status or throughput rates here). Use for: WAN inventory, multi-WAN topology.
AI agents call unifi_list_wans to retrieve information from UniFi Network MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves WAN interface configuration data without creating, modifying, deleting, executing commands, or triggering external operations. The low severity reflects that exposure of WAN interface names and IDs poses minimal risk to a network's security posture, as this is basic inventory information already accessible to legitimate network administrators.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'List[s] WAN interface definitions' and 'Returns: id, name only'. The verb 'list' and the read-only nature of returning interface definitions without side effects or live modification confirms a retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List WAN interface definitions at a site. Returns: id, name only (verified against 10.5.43 — the Integration API exposes no live link status or throughput rates here). Use for: WAN inventory, multi-WAN topology. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UniFi Network MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UniFi Network MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unifi_list_wans: 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 UniFi Network MCP Server. Nothing to install.
unifi_list_wans is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unifi_list_wans 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 unifi_list_wans. 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.
unifi_list_wans is provided by the UniFi Network MCP Server MCP server (owine/unifi-network-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
