WHAT IT DOES

What proxmox_list_users does on MCP Proxmox Server

AI agents call proxmox_list_users to retrieve information from MCP Proxmox Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why proxmox_list_users is rated Low

The 'list_' prefix universally indicates enumeration or querying of existing resources without side effects. Even though the description is empty, the naming convention and the server's documented resource-discovery capability strongly suggest this retrieves user information from Proxmox without modifying or executing anything.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'proxmox_list_users' contains 'list', a retrieval operation with no modification capability. The server provides 'resource discovery' as a stated capability, consistent with read-only querying.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs proxmox_list_users safely

proxmox_list_users Allowed

proxmox_list_users is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
