WHAT IT DOES

What resume_container does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents invoke resume_container to trigger actions in Proxmox MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why resume_container is rated High

Resuming a suspended container triggers an external operational state change on infrastructure — it causes a container to transition from suspended to running state. This is an Execute-level action as it triggers an external operation with real effects, but it is not destructive (it does not delete or overwrite data) nor financial.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs resume_container 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 resume_container, this is the rule to start with:

resume_container Rate-limited

resume_container stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
