What attach_servers does on Sacloud

Why attach_servers needs a policy

The 'attach_servers' operation most likely attaches servers to load balancers, routers, or other infrastructure components, which is a reversible write operation that modifies cloud resource configurations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'attach_servers' on Sakura Cloud MCP server with sibling tools including create_* and delete_* operations, indicating infrastructure management capabilities.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access attach_servers gives an agent:

How to control attach_servers

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "attach_servers": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "attach_servers_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

attach_servers stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Sacloud — 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.
