WHAT IT DOES

What assign_virtual_machine does on CloudStack MCP Server

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

assign_virtual_machine Rate-limited

assign_virtual_machine 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.
