What proxmox_resize_vm_disk does on MCP Proxmox Server
AI agents use proxmox_resize_vm_disk 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.
Why proxmox_resize_vm_disk is rated Medium
Resizing a VM disk modifies infrastructure configuration reversibly (disks can be resized again or back to original size), placing it in the Write category. However, severity is high because incorrect disk resizing could cause data loss, filesystem corruption, or service outages in production virtualization environments.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proxmox_resize_vm_disk' indicates modification of VM disk size. Server description states it supports 'VM/LXC lifecycle operations' and 'full access to Proxmox API functionality.' Sibling tools include 'proxmox_backup_vm' and 'proxmox_clone_vm'…

The rule that runs proxmox_resize_vm_disk 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_resize_vm_disk, this is the rule to start with:
proxmox_resize_vm_disk stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect MCP Proxmox Server, apply this rule, and every proxmox_resize_vm_disk call is checked against it from then on.

proxmox_resize_vm_disk is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the proxmox_resize_vm_disk rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
