Gets the current DNS cache
AI agents call mikrotik_get_dns_cache 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 queries existing DNS cache data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that retrieves information from the router's DNS cache, posing minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Gets the current DNS cache' - a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
