What get_cluster_log does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call get_cluster_log 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_log is rated Low
This tool retrieves historical cluster event logs without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It provides observability into cluster state and events. The risk is low because reading logs cannot directly harm infrastructure or data, though logs may contain sensitive information that could aid reconnaissance in a multi-step attack. Classification as Read is appropriate for a log query operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cluster_log' and description 'Get the cluster log (recent events)' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of querying logs confirm this is a data retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_cluster_log 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_log, this is the rule to start with:
get_cluster_log 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_log call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_cluster_log
Get the cluster log (recent events). 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_log: 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_log 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_log 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_log. 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_log 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.
