What get_ceph_config does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call get_ceph_config 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_ceph_config is rated Low
This tool retrieves Ceph cluster configuration information. Reading configuration data has no direct side effects and does not modify, execute, delete, or create resources. While configuration data may be sensitive (potentially revealing infrastructure topology or authentication parameters), the classification is based on the operation itself, which is purely informational.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ceph_config' and description 'Get the raw Ceph configuration' indicate retrieval of configuration data without modification or execution. The verb 'get' and lack of any action words suggesting changes confirm read-only semantics.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_ceph_config 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_ceph_config, this is the rule to start with:
get_ceph_config 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_ceph_config call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_ceph_config
Get the raw Ceph configuration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Proxmox MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Proxmox MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_ceph_config: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Proxmox MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_ceph_config is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_ceph_config rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_ceph_config. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_ceph_config is provided by the Proxmox MCP Server MCP server (gethosthewalrus/proxmox-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
