create_bgp_peer · CloudStack MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_bgp_peer does on CloudStack MCP Server

AI agents use create_bgp_peer 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_bgp_peer needs a policy

This tool creates a new BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) peer configuration, which modifies network routing state. This is reversible (the peer can be deleted or reconfigured), making it a Write operation rather than Execute or Destructive. However, misconfiguration could disrupt network traffic routing, warranting medium severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_bgp_peer' and description 'Create BGP peer for dynamic routing' indicate creation of a new network routing configuration object.

FAQ

Questions about create_bgp_peer

What does the create_bgp_peer tool do? +

Create BGP peer for dynamic routing. It is categorised as a Write tool in the CloudStack MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_bgp_peer? +

Register the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_bgp_peer: 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 CloudStack MCP Server. Nothing to install.

How do I block create_bgp_peer completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_bgp_peer. 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 create_bgp_peer? +

create_bgp_peer is provided by the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server (mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
