WHAT IT DOES

What create_firewall_ipset does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents use create_firewall_ipset 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_firewall_ipset is rated Medium

This tool creates a new firewall IP set, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies firewall configuration by adding a new network object but does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or move money. The severity is medium because misconfiguration of firewall rules could impact infrastructure security or availability, but the action itself is reversible and bounded to firewall IP set creation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_firewall_ipset' and description states 'Create a new firewall IP set.' The verb 'create' indicates data creation/modification.
