# add_nic_to_virtual_machine Add a NIC to a virtual machine Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `add_nic_to_virtual_machine`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/add-nic-to-virtual-machine ## Facts - Tool: `add_nic_to_virtual_machine` - Server: CloudStack MCP Server (`mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "add_nic_to_virtual_machine", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why add_nic_to_virtual_machine is rated Medium This tool creates/modifies VM configuration by adding a network interface card. While it modifies infrastructure state and could impact network connectivity if misconfigured, it is reversible (NICs can be detached) and does not destroy data or commit financial obligations. It falls under Write rather than Execute because it modifies a specific resource configuration rather than executing arbitrary code/commands. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'add_nic_to_virtual_machine' and description 'Add a NIC to a virtual machine' indicate a modification operation that creates a new network interface on a VM. This is a reversible change—NICs can be removed or replaced." ## Use case AI agents use add_nic_to_virtual_machine 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CloudStack MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "add_nic_to_virtual_machine": { "limits": [ { "counter": "add_nic_to_virtual_machine_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on CloudStack MCP Server (441) - `cancel_host_maintenance` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/cancel-host-maintenance.md - `delete_account` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-account.md - `delete_account_from_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-account-from-project.md - `delete_alerts` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-alerts.md - `delete_application_load_balancer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-application-load-balancer.md - `delete_bgp_peer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-bgp-peer.md - `delete_customer_gateway` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-customer-gateway.md - `delete_dhcp_option` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-dhcp-option.md - `delete_disk_offering` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-disk-offering.md - `delete_domain` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-domain.md - `delete_egress_firewall_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-egress-firewall-rule.md - `delete_firewall_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-firewall-rule.md - `delete_global_load_balancer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-global-load-balancer.md - `delete_host` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-host.md - `delete_image_store` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-image-store.md - `delete_ip_forwarding_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-ip-forwarding-rule.md - `delete_ipv4_subnet_for_guest_network` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-ipv4-subnet-for-guest-network.md - `delete_ipv4_subnet_for_zone` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-ipv4-subnet-for-zone.md - `delete_ipv6_firewall_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-ipv6-firewall-rule.md - `delete_iso` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-iso.md - `delete_kubernetes_cluster` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-kubernetes-cluster.md - `delete_kubernetes_supported_version` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-kubernetes-supported-version.md - `delete_lb_health_check_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-lb-health-check-policy.md - `delete_lb_stickiness_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-lb-stickiness-policy.md - `delete_load_balancer_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-load-balancer-rule.md - `delete_network` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network.md - `delete_network_acl` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network-acl.md - `delete_network_acl_list` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network-acl-list.md - `delete_network_device` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network-device.md - `delete_network_offering` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network-offering.md - …and 411 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
