Why list_pxe_scripts needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays existing PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) startup scripts without creating, modifying, or deleting any resources. It is a read-only operation that poses minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes information about existing scripts rather than altering infrastructure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_pxe_scripts' and description 'List PXE startup scripts' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or destructive capability.

How to control list_pxe_scripts

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_pxe_scripts:

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

list_pxe_scripts 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.
