WHAT IT DOES

What get_node_aplinfo does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents call get_node_aplinfo 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.

RISK

Why get_node_aplinfo is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves information about available LXC appliance templates for download. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves existing metadata without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting any resources. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an attacker could only discover what templates are available, which is non-sensitive infrastructure information.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get_node_aplinfo' and description states 'List available appliance templates' — uses 'List' verb indicating data retrieval with no modification or execution capability.
