WHAT IT DOES

What create_cluster_firewall_rule does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents use create_cluster_firewall_rule 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_cluster_firewall_rule is rated Medium

The tool name indicates creation of a cluster-level firewall rule, which is a Write operation (adding a new rule to the firewall configuration). Firewall rules at the cluster level have high blast radius since misconfiguration could expose or block infrastructure-wide network access. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name: create_cluster_firewall_rule — 'create' implies writing a new firewall rule; description is empty/uninformative.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_cluster_firewall_rule 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_cluster_firewall_rule, this is the rule to start with:

create_cluster_firewall_rule Rate-limited

create_cluster_firewall_rule 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.
