MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS
Critical Risk

The most dangerous MCP Proxmox Server tools

Destructive · Critical proxmox_delete_lxc Proxmox_delete_lxc performs irreversible deletion of LXC (Linux Container) instances. Destructive · Critical proxmox_delete_pool The 'delete' operation cannot be undone and removes infrastructure configuration from a virtualization management system. Destructive · Critical proxmox_delete_snapshot Snapshot deletion is a destructive operation that cannot be undone. Destructive · Critical proxmox_delete_vm Deletion of virtual machines is a destructive operation that cannot be undone.

203 of MCP Proxmox Server's 242 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCP Proxmox Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Proxmox Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations
{
  "proxmox_delete_lxc": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations
{
  "proxmox_assign_permission": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "proxmox_assign_permission_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "get_cluster_info": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_cluster_info_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Proxmox Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about MCP Proxmox Server

Can an AI agent delete data through the MCP Proxmox Server MCP server? +

Yes. The MCP Proxmox Server server exposes 11 destructive tools including proxmox_delete_lxc, proxmox_delete_pool, proxmox_delete_snapshot. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through MCP Proxmox Server? +

The MCP Proxmox Server server has 38 write tools including proxmox_assign_permission, proxmox_backup_vm, proxmox_clone_vm. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach MCP Proxmox Server.

How many tools does the MCP Proxmox Server MCP server expose? +

242 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 39 are read-only. 203 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on MCP Proxmox Server? +

Register the MCP Proxmox Server MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every MCP Proxmox Server tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 242 MCP Proxmox Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
