List all OpenVPN server instances

How to control openvpn_list_servers ↓

AI agents call openvpn_list_servers 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 and enumerates existing OpenVPN server configurations. It performs a read-only query operation that does not modify, execute, delete, or create any resources. The blast radius is minimal—exposure of this list could reveal infrastructure details but does not enable direct attacks or data manipulation without additional tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'openvpn_list_servers' and description 'List all OpenVPN server instances' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

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

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

openvpn_list_servers 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.
