## Why get_metric_server is rated Low

This tool retrieves existing metric server configuration without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or moving money. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains only informational access to monitoring infrastructure settings. Confidence is high because the description unambiguously describes a read-only query operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_metric_server' and description 'Get metric server configuration' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'get' and action of reading configuration data align with Read category semantics."

## Use case

AI agents call get_metric_server 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_metric_server": {}
  }
}
```
