THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why vagrant needs a policy

The tool explicitly supports 'destroy' (irreversible VM deletion) and 'halt' (forceful shutdown). 'destroy' permanently deletes virtual machines and their associated data, which is irreversible. Following the most-severe-category rule, the presence of 'destroy' elevates this to Destructive. Blast radius is critical as an AI agent could destroy running infrastructure VMs.

From the tool's definition Manages Vagrant VMs: status, global-status, up, halt, destroy

POLICY

How to control vagrant

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Make, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for vagrant:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "vagrant"
  ]
}

vagrant disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Make — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about vagrant

What does the vagrant tool do? +

Manages Vagrant VMs: status, global-status, up, halt, destroy. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Make MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on vagrant? +

Register the Make MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vagrant: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Make. Nothing to install.

What risk level is vagrant? +

vagrant is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit vagrant? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vagrant rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block vagrant completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for vagrant. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides vagrant? +

vagrant is provided by the Make MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Make tool call.

Start from Make, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
