Gets detailed information about a backup file
AI agents call mikrotik_backup_info to retrieve information from MikroTik MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries backup file information without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations on the MikroTik device or backup data itself. It is purely informational (Read category). Severity is low because exposure of backup metadata poses minimal risk—it does not expose sensitive data directly nor enable any device modifications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'mikrotik_backup_info' and description 'Gets detailed information about a backup file' indicate retrieval of metadata about an existing backup without modification, deletion, or execution of commands.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Gets detailed information about a backup file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MikroTik MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MikroTik MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mikrotik_backup_info: 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 MikroTik MCP. Nothing to install.
mikrotik_backup_info 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 mikrotik_backup_info 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 mikrotik_backup_info. 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.
mikrotik_backup_info is provided by the MikroTik MCP server (tarcisiodier/mcp-mikrotik). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
