## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "proxmox_auto_optimize",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why proxmox_auto_optimize is rated High

This tool automatically modifies VM configurations based on usage patterns, which involves executing changes to live infrastructure. It goes beyond simple writes as it autonomously applies optimization changes to potentially multiple VMs based on pattern analysis. Misuse or incorrect behavior could destabilize running workloads across the virtualization infrastructure, warranting a high severity rating.

From the tool's own definition: "Automatically optimize VM configurations based on usage patterns"

## Use case

AI agents invoke proxmox_auto_optimize to trigger actions in MCP Proxmox Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MCP Proxmox Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "proxmox_auto_optimize": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "proxmox_auto_optimize_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
