AI agents call pve_get_version to retrieve information from Proxmox without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query to fetch version information from the Proxmox VE cluster. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute, or otherwise change system state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains only knowledge of the installed Proxmox version, which is low-severity information disclosure. This is a typical Read category operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pve_get_version' and description 'Return Proxmox VE version information' indicate a simple query operation that retrieves version data with no modifications, side effects, or operational impact.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return Proxmox VE version information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Proxmox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Proxmox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pve_get_version: 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 Proxmox. Nothing to install.
pve_get_version 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 pve_get_version 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 pve_get_version. 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.
pve_get_version is provided by the Proxmox MCP server (plgonzalezrx8/proxmox-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
