# update_vm_snapshot Update virtual machine snapshot Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `update_vm_snapshot`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/update-vm-snapshot ## Facts - Tool: `update_vm_snapshot` - Server: CloudStack MCP Server (`mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "update_vm_snapshot", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why update_vm_snapshot is rated Medium This tool modifies snapshot properties (e.g., name, description, tags) rather than creating, deleting, or executing operations. Updates are typically reversible, placing it in Write category. Severity is medium because misconfiguration of snapshots could impact backup/recovery workflows, but the operation itself is not destructive or immediately critical to infrastructure availability. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_vm_snapshot' and description 'Update virtual machine snapshot' indicate modification of existing snapshot metadata or configuration without deletion or irreversible destruction. The verb 'update' is reversible." ## Use case AI agents use update_vm_snapshot 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CloudStack MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "update_vm_snapshot": { "limits": [ { "counter": "update_vm_snapshot_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on CloudStack MCP Server (441) - `cancel_host_maintenance` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/cancel-host-maintenance.md - `delete_account` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-account.md - `delete_account_from_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-account-from-project.md - `delete_alerts` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-alerts.md - `delete_application_load_balancer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-application-load-balancer.md - `delete_bgp_peer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-bgp-peer.md - `delete_customer_gateway` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-customer-gateway.md - `delete_dhcp_option` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-dhcp-option.md - `delete_disk_offering` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-disk-offering.md - `delete_domain` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-domain.md - `delete_egress_firewall_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-egress-firewall-rule.md - `delete_firewall_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-firewall-rule.md - `delete_global_load_balancer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-global-load-balancer.md - `delete_host` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-host.md - `delete_image_store` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-image-store.md - `delete_ip_forwarding_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-ip-forwarding-rule.md - `delete_ipv4_subnet_for_guest_network` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-ipv4-subnet-for-guest-network.md - `delete_ipv4_subnet_for_zone` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-ipv4-subnet-for-zone.md - `delete_ipv6_firewall_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-ipv6-firewall-rule.md - `delete_iso` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-iso.md - `delete_kubernetes_cluster` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-kubernetes-cluster.md - `delete_kubernetes_supported_version` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-kubernetes-supported-version.md - `delete_lb_health_check_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-lb-health-check-policy.md - `delete_lb_stickiness_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-lb-stickiness-policy.md - `delete_load_balancer_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-load-balancer-rule.md - `delete_network` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network.md - `delete_network_acl` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network-acl.md - `delete_network_acl_list` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network-acl-list.md - `delete_network_device` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network-device.md - `delete_network_offering` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/delete-network-offering.md - …and 411 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
