## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "proxmox_secret_store",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

## Why proxmox_secret_store is rated Medium

This tool writes sensitive secrets (credentials and API keys) to persistent storage. While not immediately destructive or financial, misuse by an AI agent could compromise infrastructure security by storing malicious credentials or overwriting legitimate ones.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool explicitly performs credential and API key storage operations. 'Secure secret storage for VM credentials and API keys' indicates the tool creates and modifies sensitive authentication data."

## Use case

AI agents use proxmox_secret_store 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MCP Proxmox Server:

```json
