Lists user groups on MikroTik device
AI agents call mikrotik_list_user_groups 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 only retrieves and displays information about user groups on the device. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify or delete data, and does not create financial obligations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since listing user groups reveals organizational structure but does not grant unauthorized access or enable destructive actions on its own.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'Lists user groups' — a query operation that retrieves data about existing user groups without modification, deletion, or execution of commands.

Lists user groups on MikroTik device. 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_list_user_groups: 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_list_user_groups 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_list_user_groups 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.
