List IP addresses on interfaces.
AI agents call ip_addresses to retrieve information from RouterOS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves network configuration information (IP addresses assigned to interfaces) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a read-only diagnostic query typical of network monitoring, presenting minimal security risk unless the IP address information itself is sensitive in the deployment context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ip_addresses' combined with description 'List IP addresses on interfaces' indicates a query/retrieval operation with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List IP addresses on interfaces. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RouterOS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RouterOS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ip_addresses: 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 RouterOS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
ip_addresses 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 ip_addresses 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 ip_addresses. 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.
ip_addresses is provided by the RouterOS MCP Server MCP server (sevaepsteyn/routeros_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
