WHAT IT DOES

What vm_agent_get_info does on Proxmox MCP Server

AI agents call vm_agent_get_info 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.

RISK

Why vm_agent_get_info is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata or status information about a Proxmox VM guest agent. The naming convention (get_*) and lack of any parameters suggesting writes, deletes, or execution strongly indicate a read-only query operation. The description is empty, which reduces confidence slightly, but the tool name itself provides sufficient evidence of its read-only nature.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'vm_agent_get_info' indicates retrieval of information ('get_info') about a VM agent; the 'get' prefix and 'info' suffix are characteristic of read operations that query state without modification.
