Find devices on specific VLAN

How to control find_devices_on_vlan ↓

AI agents call find_devices_on_vlan 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 performs a read-only query to enumerate devices on a specific VLAN. It retrieves network discovery data with no side effects, no destructive capability, no code execution, and no financial impact. The low severity reflects that misuse would at worst expose non-sensitive network topology information in most configurations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_devices_on_vlan' and description 'Find devices on specific VLAN' indicate a query/discovery operation that retrieves information about network devices without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access find_devices_on_vlan 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 find_devices_on_vlan:

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

find_devices_on_vlan 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.
