Get status of a specific storage device
AI agents call get_storage_status to retrieve information from Proxmox MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and reports the current state of storage resources without altering, deleting, or executing operations. It is a read-only diagnostic function consistent with other status-checking tools on this server (get_vm_status, get_cluster_status, get_node_status). No side effects or data modification occurs.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_storage_status' and description 'Get status of a specific storage device' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get status of a specific storage device. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Proxmox MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Proxmox MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_storage_status: 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 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_storage_status 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 get_storage_status 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 get_storage_status. 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.
get_storage_status is provided by the Proxmox MCP Server MCP server (ry-ops/proxmox-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
