WHAT IT DOES

What get_role does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents call get_role 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_role is rated Low

It is a read-only operation that returns information for inspection purposes, with no side effects on the Proxmox infrastructure. No data is modified, deleted, or executed. This is typical of authorization/RBAC management queries.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_role' and description states 'Get role details and its privileges' — purely a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of infrastructure changes.
