WHAT IT DOES

What get_ceph_flags does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents call get_ceph_flags 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.

RISK

Why get_ceph_flags is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and queries Ceph cluster flag status. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. The action is purely informational. Even in the context of a Proxmox management server with access to virtual machines and storage, querying flag status poses minimal security risk—the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure about cluster state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ceph_flags' and description 'Get Ceph global flags' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves the current state of Ceph cluster flags without modifying infrastructure.

get_ceph_flags Allowed

get_ceph_flags is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
