What list_supported_commands does on MikroTik MCP Server

AI agents call list_supported_commands to retrieve information from MikroTik MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_supported_commands needs a policy

Even though list_supported_commands only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
