## Facts

- Tool: `list_node_storage`
- Server: Proxmox MCP Server (`gethosthewalrus/proxmox-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/gethosthewalrus-proxmox-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/GethosTheWalrus/proxmox-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified

- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_node_storage",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_node_storage is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only query of storage pool metadata and usage statistics. It retrieves information (list, describe) with no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute actions. The use of 'list' and the informational nature ('usage info') confirms it is a passive data retrieval function with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—worst case would be information disclosure or resource scanning.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_node_storage' and description 'List storage pools available on a specific node with usage info' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and displays storage information without making any modifications, creating side effects, or deleting…"

## Use case

AI agents call list_node_storage 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": {
    "list_node_storage": {}
  }
}
```
