WHAT IT DOES

What proxmox_upload_template does on MCP Proxmox Server

AI agents use proxmox_upload_template 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.

RISK

Why proxmox_upload_template is rated Medium

Upload operations create or modify data (templates are persistent resources in Proxmox). While the description is empty, the tool name and server context clearly indicate a write action that modifies infrastructure state. This is categorized as Write rather than Execute because it stores a template artifact rather than triggering arbitrary computation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'proxmox_upload_template' indicates uploading/creating a template in Proxmox infrastructure. Template uploads modify stored resources that can be reused for VM/LXC provisioning.

proxmox_upload_template Rate-limited

proxmox_upload_template 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.
