WHAT IT DOES

What create_ceph_osd does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents use create_ceph_osd to create or update resources in Proxmox MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Proxmox MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why create_ceph_osd is rated Medium

Creating a Ceph OSD (Object Storage Daemon) provisions a new storage component in the Ceph cluster, which is a Write operation. However, it is high severity because it modifies low-level storage infrastructure: creating an OSD typically involves formatting/wiping the target device, which could be destructive to existing data on that device.

From the tool's definition 'Create a new Ceph OSD on a device' — creates a new storage daemon/resource

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_ceph_osd safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Proxmox MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_ceph_osd, this is the rule to start with:

create_ceph_osd Rate-limited

create_ceph_osd 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.
