What list_auth_domains does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call list_auth_domains 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 list_auth_domains is rated Low
This tool retrieves and enumerates existing authentication domain configurations (PAM, PVE, LDAP, AD, OpenID). It performs no write, delete, execute, or financial operations. The action is informational only, with minimal blast radius if misused—an AI agent listing auth domains cannot compromise systems or cause unintended side effects. This is a standard Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_auth_domains' and description 'List configured authentication realms/domains' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves configuration metadata without modifying or executing any infrastructure changes.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_auth_domains 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 list_auth_domains, this is the rule to start with:
list_auth_domains 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 list_auth_domains call is checked against it from then on.
