Enable inter-VLAN routing via SSH
AI agents use ssh_enable_intervlan_routing to create or update resources in OPNSense MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OPNSense MCP Server environment.
This tool modifies firewall network configuration by enabling inter-VLAN routing, which is a write operation that changes system state reversibly. While it executes via SSH (suggesting Execute-like characteristics), the semantic intent is to configure/enable a setting rather than run arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ssh_enable_intervlan_routing' and description 'Enable inter-VLAN routing via SSH' indicate modification of network configuration state. The verb 'enable' performs a reversible configuration change to firewall routing settings.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ssh_enable_intervlan_routing 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 ssh_enable_intervlan_routing:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ssh_enable_intervlan_routing": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "ssh_enable_intervlan_routing_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}ssh_enable_intervlan_routing stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Enable inter-VLAN routing via SSH. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OPNSense MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the OPNSense MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ssh_enable_intervlan_routing: 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.
ssh_enable_intervlan_routing is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ssh_enable_intervlan_routing 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ssh_enable_intervlan_routing. 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.
ssh_enable_intervlan_routing 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.
