WHAT IT DOES

What create_storage_pool does on CloudStack MCP Server

AI agents use create_storage_pool 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_storage_pool needs a policy

The tool creates a new storage pool, which is a reversible Write operation. While it allocates infrastructure resources and has blast radius implications (storage pools support VM operations), it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. It is Write rather than Execute because pool creation is a configuration action, not code/command execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_storage_pool' and description 'Create a new storage pool' indicate data/resource creation. This is a Write operation that creates new infrastructure.
