What get_acme_directories does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call get_acme_directories to retrieve information from Proxmox MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_acme_directories is rated Low
This tool queries and returns a static list of ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) directory endpoints.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_acme_directories 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 get_acme_directories, this is the rule to start with:
get_acme_directories is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Proxmox MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get_acme_directories call is checked against it from then on.
