disable_account · CloudStack MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What disable_account does on CloudStack MCP Server

AI agents use disable_account 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 disable_account needs a policy

Disabling an account is a reversible modification that blocks access for all users under that account, making it high severity due to broad blast radius, but it falls under Write rather than Destructive since the account and its data are not removed and the action can be undone by re-enabling.

From the tool's definition 'Disable an account' — disabling is a reversible state change (accounts can be re-enabled), not a permanent deletion

Verdict

disable_account Rate-limited

disable_account 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.
