What get_cluster_join_info does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call get_cluster_join_info 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_cluster_join_info is rated Low
This tool retrieves cluster join information, which is a read operation. However, the severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because the information returned (cluster join credentials, tokens, or connection details) is sensitive infrastructure data that could be misused by an attacker to join unauthorized nodes to the cluster or compromise cluster security if the information is leaked or used maliciously.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_cluster_join_info' and description states it retrieves information ('Get info needed') to join a node to a cluster. This is a retrieval operation with no direct side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_cluster_join_info 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_cluster_join_info, this is the rule to start with:
get_cluster_join_info 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_cluster_join_info call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_cluster_join_info
Get info needed to join a node to this cluster. 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_cluster_join_info: 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_cluster_join_info 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_cluster_join_info 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_cluster_join_info. 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_cluster_join_info 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.
