List all DHCP leases

How to control list_dhcp_leases ↓

AI agents call list_dhcp_leases 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 queries and returns DHCP lease information from the OPNSense firewall. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius is minimal; misuse would only expose network information already known to the firewall administrator, not cause system changes or data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_dhcp_leases' and description 'List all DHCP leases' indicate retrieval of existing DHCP lease data without modification, deletion, or execution of commands.

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

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

list_dhcp_leases 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.

What does the list_dhcp_leases tool do? +

List all DHCP leases. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OPNSense MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_dhcp_leases? +

Register the OPNSense MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_dhcp_leases: 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 OPNSense MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is list_dhcp_leases? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_dhcp_leases? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_dhcp_leases 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 list_dhcp_leases completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_dhcp_leases. 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 list_dhcp_leases? +

list_dhcp_leases is provided by the OPNSense MCP Server MCP server (vespo92/opnsensemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OPNSense MCP Server tool call.
