WHAT IT DOES

What proxmox_download_os_template does on MCP Proxmox Server

AI agents use proxmox_download_os_template 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.

RISK

Why proxmox_download_os_template is rated Medium

Downloading an OS template retrieves a file and writes/stores it to the Proxmox storage. This is a Write operation as it creates new data (the template file) on the system. It is reversible (the template can be deleted), so it doesn't qualify as Destructive. Misuse could consume significant storage or introduce untrusted templates, warranting medium severity.
