What arvan_create_volume does on ArvanCloud MCP Server

Why arvan_create_volume is rated Medium
This tool creates a new block-storage volume, which is a reversible Write operation. While it provisions infrastructure and consumes resources (incurring potential costs), it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or directly move money. The blast radius is medium because misconfiguration could create unnecessary volumes and consume cloud credits, but the action is reversible through deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'arvan_create_volume' and description 'Create a block-storage volume' indicate a create operation that modifies cloud infrastructure state by adding a new storage resource.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs arvan_create_volume safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ArvanCloud MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For arvan_create_volume, this is the rule to start with:
arvan_create_volume 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 ArvanCloud MCP Server, apply this rule, and every arvan_create_volume call is checked against it from then on.
