WHAT IT DOES

What proxmox_migrate_vm does on MCP Proxmox Server

AI agents invoke proxmox_migrate_vm 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.

RISK

Why proxmox_migrate_vm is rated High

Based on the tool name, this tool migrates a VM in a Proxmox environment, which involves moving a running or stopped virtual machine between nodes. Migration is an Execute-level operation as it triggers a complex external operation (live or offline migration) whose effects depend on arguments (source node, destination node, VM ID, migration type).

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs proxmox_migrate_vm 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_migrate_vm, this is the rule to start with:

proxmox_migrate_vm Rate-limited

proxmox_migrate_vm stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
