WHAT IT DOES

What rollback_container_snapshot does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents call rollback_container_snapshot to permanently remove resources in Proxmox MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why rollback_container_snapshot is rated Critical

Rolling back a container to a previous snapshot irreversibly overwrites the current container state, destroying all data, configuration, and changes made since the snapshot was taken. This is a destructive, unrecoverable operation that can cause significant data loss in a production environment.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

rollback_container_snapshot Hidden

rollback_container_snapshot is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
