AI agents call ovh_get_vps to retrieve information from Ovh without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries VPS instance information from OVH's API without modifying, deleting, or executing operations on those instances. It has no side effects beyond returning data to the caller. The low severity reflects that unauthorized reads of VPS metadata pose limited immediate risk compared to modification, execution, or deletion capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ovh_get_vps' with description 'Get VPS instances' indicates a retrieval operation. The 'get' prefix and action verb 'Get' are consistent with read-only query operations.

Get VPS instances. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ovh MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ovh MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ovh_get_vps: 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 Ovh. Nothing to install.
ovh_get_vps 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 ovh_get_vps 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 ovh_get_vps. 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.
ovh_get_vps is provided by the Ovh MCP server (mcp-server-ovh). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
