Get virtual machine password
AI agents call get_vm_password to retrieve information from CloudStack MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves sensitive credential data (VM password) but does not modify or delete anything. While it is a Read operation, the sensitivity of the data being exposed (authentication credentials) elevates the severity from low to medium, as unauthorized access to VM passwords could enable lateral movement or unauthorized access to virtual machines.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_vm_password' and description states 'Get virtual machine password'. The verb 'Get' indicates data retrieval with no modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get virtual machine password. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CloudStack MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_vm_password: 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.
get_vm_password is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_vm_password 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 get_vm_password. 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.
get_vm_password 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.
