## Why proxmox_delete_lxc is rated Critical

Proxmox_delete_lxc performs irreversible deletion of LXC (Linux Container) instances. This is a destructive operation—once executed, the container and its data are permanently removed and cannot be undone. The blast radius is critical because an AI agent with access to this tool could destroy entire containerized workloads and their persistent data without recovery options.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'proxmox_delete_lxc' explicitly indicates deletion of LXC containers in Proxmox infrastructure. The server description confirms this tool operates on Proxmox virtualization infrastructure supporting 'VM/LXC lifecycle operations.' Deletion of…"

## Use case

AI agents call proxmox_delete_lxc to permanently remove resources in MCP Proxmox Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
