Exports a specific configuration section
AI agents call mikrotik_export_section 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.
Exporting a configuration section is a read operation — it retrieves and outputs the current configuration of a RouterOS section without modifying any state. However, severity is medium because exported configurations may contain sensitive information such as credentials, firewall rules, VPN keys, and network topology details that could be valuable to an attacker.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Exports a specific configuration section. 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_export_section: 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_export_section 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_export_section 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_export_section. 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_export_section 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.
