WHAT IT DOES

What lock_account does on CloudStack MCP Server

AI agents use lock_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.

RISK

Why lock_account is rated Medium

Locking an account is a reversible write operation (accounts can be unlocked) that modifies account state to prevent login. While disruptive to affected users, it is not irreversible like deletion. However, it has high blast radius if misused as it can deny access to legitimate users or administrators.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs lock_account safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CloudStack MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For lock_account, this is the rule to start with:

lock_account Rate-limited

lock_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.
