What get_cluster_options does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call get_cluster_options 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_options is rated Low
This tool only retrieves read-only cluster configuration metadata. There are no side effects, modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial implications. The data returned (keyboard layout, console settings, language) are non-sensitive infrastructure preferences. Misuse would only allow an agent to view configuration details without ability to change them, resulting in minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cluster_options' with verb 'get' and description explicitly states it retrieves datacenter/cluster-wide configuration options (keyboard layout, console, language, etc.) with no modification capability indicated.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_cluster_options 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_options, this is the rule to start with:
get_cluster_options 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_options call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_cluster_options
Get datacenter/cluster-wide options (keyboard layout, console, language, etc.). 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_options: 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_options 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_options 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_options. 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_options 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.
