## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why get_ceph_status_cluster is rated Low

This tool retrieves monitoring and status information about the Ceph storage cluster. It performs no mutations, side effects, or destructive operations—it only reads and returns diagnostic data. Misuse by an AI agent would at worst lead to information disclosure or repeated queries, not infrastructure damage or data loss.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_ceph_status' and description 'Get Ceph cluster status (health, monitors, OSDs, PGs)' indicate a retrieval operation that queries cluster health metrics and component status without modifying any data."

## Use case

AI agents call get_ceph_status_cluster 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Proxmox MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_ceph_status_cluster": {}
  }
}
```
