# create_volume_from_snapshot Create a new volume from a snapshot Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `create_volume_from_snapshot`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/create-volume-from-snapshot ## Facts - Tool: `create_volume_from_snapshot` - 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": "create_volume_from_snapshot", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why create_volume_from_snapshot is rated Medium This tool creates new infrastructure (a volume) but does not delete, overwrite irreversibly, or execute arbitrary code. While 'create' operations can impact infrastructure and incur costs, the primary action is resource creation rather than financial commitment or destruction. The operation is reversible through standard deletion. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_volume_from_snapshot' and description 'Create a new volume from a snapshot' indicate data creation. The action creates a new storage volume resource from an existing snapshot, which is a reversible write operation." ## Use case AI agents use create_volume_from_snapshot 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": { "create_volume_from_snapshot": { "limits": [ { "counter": "create_volume_from_snapshot_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.
