# find_mac_on_switch Find which port a MAC address is learned on for a CX switch. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `find_mac_on_switch`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/find-mac-on-switch ## Facts - Tool: `find_mac_on_switch` - Server: API-Central (`secure-ssid/centralmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/secure-ssid/centralmcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "find_mac_on_switch", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why find_mac_on_switch is rated Low This tool performs a read-only lookup of MAC address port associations on a switch. It queries existing data (which switch port has learned a given MAC address) with no side effects, no data modification, and no resource depletion. The only concern is information disclosure about network topology, which is low severity since network administrators typically have legitimate access to such diagnostics. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Find which port a MAC address is learned on' — a query operation that retrieves information about network topology without modifying any state." ## Use case AI agents call find_mac_on_switch to retrieve information from API-Central without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches API-Central: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "find_mac_on_switch": {} } } ``` ## 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.
