WHAT IT DOES

What add_host does on CloudStack MCP Server

AI agents use add_host to create or update resources in CloudStack MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CloudStack MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why add_host is rated Medium

This tool creates a new hypervisor host resource and adds it to an existing cluster, which is a reversible Write operation. While infrastructure changes can have significant blast radius (high severity), the operation itself is not destructive (reversible), does not involve financial transactions, and does not execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_host' and description 'Add hypervisor host to cluster' indicate creation of infrastructure resource (hypervisor host) in a cluster, which modifies the system state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_host safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CloudStack MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_host, this is the rule to start with:

add_host Rate-limited

add_host stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CloudStack MCP Server, apply this rule, and every add_host call is checked against it from then on.
