Disable high availability for zone
AI agents use disable_ha_for_zone 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.
Disabling HA for a zone is a reversible configuration change (it can be re-enabled), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. However, the blast radius is high because it affects an entire zone's resilience, meaning all VMs in that zone lose automatic failover protection, which could cause widespread outages if VMs fail.
From the tool's definition 'Disable high availability for zone' — modifies the HA configuration for an entire zone
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Disable high availability for zone. 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.
Register the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for disable_ha_for_zone: 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.
disable_ha_for_zone is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the disable_ha_for_zone rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for disable_ha_for_zone. 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.
disable_ha_for_zone 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.
disable_ha_for_zone is one line of CloudStack MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
