# apstra_write A write tool on the API-Central MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `apstra_write`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/apstra-write ## Facts - Tool: `apstra_write` - Server: API-Central (`secure-ssid/centralmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/secure-ssid/centralmcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "apstra_write", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why apstra_write is rated Medium The 'apstra_write' tool almost certainly creates or modifies data in the Apstra network automation platform (a real Juniper/HPE infrastructure-as-code system). Write operations on network infrastructure can have significant impact through configuration changes, hence 'high' severity. Confidence is moderate (0.75) due to missing description, but the naming is unambiguous about write intent. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'apstra_write' directly indicates a write operation. No description provided, so classification relies on naming convention and context from sibling tools which include creation and modification operations (add_devices_to_group,…" ## Use case AI agents use apstra_write to create or update resources in API-Central, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your API-Central environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches API-Central: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "apstra_write": { "limits": [ { "counter": "apstra_write_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on API-Central (589) - `aos8_execute_migration_rollback` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/aos8-execute-migration-rollback.md - `aos8_logout` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/aos8-logout.md - `apstra_delete_connectivity_template` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/apstra-delete-connectivity-template.md - `clear_alerts` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clear-alerts.md - `clearpass_delete_endpoint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clearpass-delete-endpoint.md - `clearpass_delete_guest` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clearpass-delete-guest.md - `delete_aaa_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-aaa-profile.md - `delete_auth_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-auth-profile.md - `delete_auth_server` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-auth-server.md - `delete_authz_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-authz-policy.md - `delete_config_assignment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-config-assignment.md - `delete_device_groups` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-device-groups.md - `delete_device_notes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-device-notes.md - `delete_glp_role_assignment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-role-assignment.md - `delete_glp_scope_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-scope-group.md - `delete_glp_scope_group_scopes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-scope-group-scopes.md - `delete_gw_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-gw-policy.md - `delete_mac_registration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-mac-registration.md - `delete_mpsk_registration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-mpsk-registration.md - `delete_network_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-network-profile.md - `delete_notification_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-notification-rule.md - `delete_overlay_ssid` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-overlay-ssid.md - `delete_report` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-report.md - `delete_report_run` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-report-run.md - `delete_role` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-role.md - `delete_role_acl` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-role-acl.md - `delete_server_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-server-group.md - `delete_site_collections_bulk` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-site-collections-bulk.md - `delete_sites_bulk` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-sites-bulk.md - `delete_static_tag` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-static-tag.md - …and 559 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
