This tool performs a straightforward enumeration of publicly available ISO images. The verb 'list' combined with 'public' and the absence of any modification language ('create', 'delete', 'update', 'execute') clearly indicate a read operation with no destructive, financial, or executable side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains only informational access to public resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_public_isos' and description 'List public ISO images' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves information without modification or side effects.

How to control list_public_isos

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Vultr MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_public_isos:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_public_isos": {}
  }
}

list_public_isos is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Vultr MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
