WHAT IT DOES

What share_ips does on Linode MCP Server

AI agents use share_ips to create or update resources in Linode MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Linode MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why share_ips is rated Medium

Sharing IP addresses between Linodes is a network configuration change that modifies routing/assignment of IP resources. It is reversible (IPs can be unshared), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could disrupt network connectivity between instances, hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition Share IP addresses between Linodes

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs share_ips safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Linode MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For share_ips, this is the rule to start with:

share_ips Rate-limited

share_ips 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.
