WHAT IT DOES

What proxmox_reboot_vm does on MCP Proxmox Server

AI agents invoke proxmox_reboot_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_reboot_vm is rated High

Rebooting a VM is an execute-class action: it triggers an external operation (restart) on virtualization infrastructure. While not destructive (data is not deleted), misuse could cause service disruption, downtime, or interrupt running workloads. The description is empty, so classification is based on the name alone, slightly lowering confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name: proxmox_reboot_vm — 'reboot' implies triggering a restart operation on a VM, which is an external operation with real infrastructure impact.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs proxmox_reboot_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_reboot_vm, this is the rule to start with:

proxmox_reboot_vm Rate-limited

proxmox_reboot_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.
