What migrate_vm_with_volume does on CloudStack MCP Server
AI agents invoke migrate_vm_with_volume to trigger actions in CloudStack MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why migrate_vm_with_volume is rated High
VM migration with volumes is an Execute-class operation: it moves a live virtual machine and its attached storage across hosts/pools. While not inherently destructive (data is not deleted), it is a high-impact infrastructure operation that can cause downtime, affect multiple dependent systems, and if misused (e.g., migrating to an incompatible host) can crash workloads.
From the tool's definition 'Migrate virtual machine with volumes' - migrates a running VM and its storage to different infrastructure
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs migrate_vm_with_volume 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 migrate_vm_with_volume, this is the rule to start with:
migrate_vm_with_volume stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CloudStack MCP Server, apply this rule, and every migrate_vm_with_volume call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about migrate_vm_with_volume
Migrate virtual machine with volumes. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the CloudStack MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for migrate_vm_with_volume: 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.
migrate_vm_with_volume is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the migrate_vm_with_volume 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 migrate_vm_with_volume. 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.
migrate_vm_with_volume 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.
