Why router_ospf_get needs a policy

This tool queries OSPF routing configuration details (areas, networks, neighbors, redistribution settings) without making changes. It performs read-only retrieval of network state information. While OSPF misconfigurations could affect network routing, the tool itself only retrieves data and has no direct side effects. Severity is low because an agent cannot cause harm through reading routing configuration alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'router_ospf_get' and description 'Get OSPF routing configuration' indicate retrieval of existing routing state with verbs 'get' and 'retrieve'. No modification, deletion, or execution of commands is implied.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "router_ospf_get": {}
  }
}

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
