RISK

Why proxmox_register_vm_as_host is rated Medium

Based on the name, this tool likely registers a VM as a host in the Proxmox cluster, which is a write/configuration operation that modifies cluster state. The empty description lowers confidence. Registering a VM as a host could have significant infrastructure impact, warranting high severity. Since no destructive or financial action is implied by the name, Write is the most appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name: proxmox_register_vm_as_host — description is empty and uninformative.
