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

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

## Why proxmox_windows_execute_command is rated High

This tool runs code/commands on guest VMs with effects entirely dependent on the command arguments. An AI agent could execute destructive commands (format disks, delete files, disable security, pivot to other systems) making it critical severity. The blast radius spans entire VM compromise and potential lateral movement in the infrastructure.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'execute_command' and description states 'Execute command on Windows VM via QEMU guest agent.' This directly executes arbitrary commands on virtualized systems."

## Use case

AI agents invoke proxmox_windows_execute_command 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.

## 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
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "proxmox_windows_execute_command": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "proxmox_windows_execute_command_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
