Enable/disable a DNS blocklist entry

How to control toggle_blocklist_entry ↓

AI agents use toggle_blocklist_entry 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.

Medium Risk

Toggling a DNS blocklist entry enables or disables it, which modifies its state reversibly. This is a Write operation as the entry is not deleted but simply switched on or off. Misuse could affect DNS blocking behavior, allowing or blocking domains unintentionally, but the action is reversible.

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "toggle_blocklist_entry": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "toggle_blocklist_entry_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

toggle_blocklist_entry 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.

  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.
