What proxmox_create_windows_preset does on MCP Proxmox Server
AI agents use proxmox_create_windows_preset to create or update resources in MCP Proxmox Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Proxmox Server environment.
Why proxmox_create_windows_preset is rated Medium
This tool creates new virtual machines, which is a Write operation—it modifies infrastructure state by adding resources. The severity is high because misconfigured VMs (especially with preset roles like domain-controller) could compromise network security, enable lateral movement, or disrupt critical services if instantiated maliciously or erroneously by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate creation of VM resources: 'Create Windows VM with preset configurations'. The word 'Create' combined with preset templates for operational roles (web-server, domain-controller) demonstrates reversible resource provisioning.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proxmox_create_windows_preset safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and MCP Proxmox Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For proxmox_create_windows_preset, this is the rule to start with:
proxmox_create_windows_preset 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect MCP Proxmox Server, apply this rule, and every proxmox_create_windows_preset call is checked against it from then on.
