What routeros_stats does on Rosetta

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

Low Risk

Why routeros_stats needs a policy

This tool purely retrieves and reports aggregate statistics about the documentation index. It reads existing data without side effects, making it a Read category tool. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—statistics queries cannot harm RouterOS systems or data.

From the tool's definition Tool returns database statistics and metadata: 'page count, property count, callout count, changelog count, command count, link coverage, version range, documentation export date, and available agent skills.' No modification, deletion, or execution of…

How to control routeros_stats

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Rosetta, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for routeros_stats:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "routeros_stats": {}
  }
}

routeros_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Rosetta — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about routeros_stats

What does the routeros_stats tool do? +

Get database statistics for the RouterOS documentation index. Returns page count, property count, callout count, changelog count, command count, link coverage, version range, documentation export date, and available agent skills. Skills: Community-created agent guides from tikoci/routeros-skills are available as MCP resources at rosetta://skills/{name}. Use the resource listing to browse available skills. Knowledge boundaries: - Documentation: March 2026 Confluence HTML export (317 pages), aligned with long-term ~7.22 - Command tree: RouterOS 7.9–7.23beta2 from inspect.json (with extra-packages from CHR) - No RouterOS v6 data available — v6 syntax and subsystems differ significantly from v7 - For versions older than 7.9, no command tree data exists - Versions older than current long-term are unpatched by MikroTik - Absence of a peripheral in docs doesn. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Rosetta MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on routeros_stats? +

Register the Rosetta MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for routeros_stats: 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 Rosetta. Nothing to install.

What risk level is routeros_stats? +

routeros_stats is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit routeros_stats? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the routeros_stats 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.

How do I block routeros_stats completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for routeros_stats. 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.

What MCP server provides routeros_stats? +

routeros_stats is provided by the Rosetta MCP server (tikoci/rosetta). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Rosetta tool call.

Start from Rosetta, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
