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

Low Risk

This tool retrieves ACME/Let's Encrypt configuration settings. The 'get' verb and description clearly indicate a read-only operation that queries existing data with no side effects, mutations, or external actions. Despite the incomplete description, the naming pattern and context are unambiguous.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'acme_get_settings' with verb 'get' and description 'Get full ACME/Let' indicates retrieval of ACME certificate settings without modification.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access acme_get_settings gives an agent:

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

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

acme_get_settings 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 OPNSense MCP Server — 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.
