# upgrade_virtual_machine A write tool on the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `upgrade_virtual_machine`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mozg31337-cloudstack-mcp-server/upgrade-virtual-machine ## Facts - Tool: `upgrade_virtual_machine` - 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": "upgrade_virtual_machine", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why upgrade_virtual_machine is rated Medium Upgrading a virtual machine typically changes its configuration such as CPU, memory, or service offering. This is a reversible modification (can be downgraded), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. However, it carries high severity because misuse could disrupt running workloads or cause unintended service changes across production infrastructure. From the tool's own definition: "'Upgrade virtual machine' - modifies VM configuration (e.g., service offering, hardware specs)" ## Use case AI agents use upgrade_virtual_machine 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": { "upgrade_virtual_machine": { "limits": [ { "counter": "upgrade_virtual_machine_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.
