What list_ceph_fs does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call list_ceph_fs 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_ceph_fs is rated Low
This tool retrieves and displays information about existing CephFS filesystems. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external executions—purely informational. The blast radius if misused is minimal; an attacker could only enumerate storage resources but cannot alter or damage them.

The rule that runs list_ceph_fs 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_ceph_fs, this is the rule to start with:
list_ceph_fs 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_ceph_fs call is checked against it from then on.
