Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
list_nodes

List all nodes in the Proxmox cluster with status, CPU, memory, and uptime.

get_node_status

Get detailed status for a specific node including CPU model, memory, disk, and versions.

Args: node: Name of the Proxmox node (e.g. 'pve', 'node1').

list_vms

List all QEMU virtual machines across the cluster.

Args: node: Optional. Filter by node name. status: Optional. Filter by status ('running', 'stopped').

list_containers

List all LXC containers across the cluster.

Args: node: Optional. Filter by node name. status: Optional. Filter by status ('running', 'stopped').

get_guest_status

Get detailed status of a VM or container by VMID. Auto-detects type and node.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container (e.g. 100, 200).

start_guest

Start a stopped VM or container.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container to start.

stop_guest

Force-stop a running VM or container. WARNING: May cause data loss.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container to stop. confirm: Must be true to execute. First call without confirm shows a warning.

shutdown_guest

Gracefully shut down a VM or container via ACPI signal (VMs) or init (containers).

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container to shut down.

reboot_guest

Reboot a running VM or container.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container to reboot. confirm: Must be true to execute. First call without confirm shows a warning.

list_snapshots

List all snapshots for a VM or container.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container.

create_snapshot

Create a new snapshot for a VM or container.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container. name: Snapshot name (alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores). description: Optional description for the snapshot.

rollback_snapshot

Rollback a VM or container to a previous snapshot.

WARNING: All changes since the snapshot will be LOST.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container. name: Name of the snapshot to rollback to. confirm: Must be true to execute. First call without confirm shows a warning.

delete_snapshot

Delete a snapshot from a VM or container.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container. name: Name of the snapshot to delete. confirm: Must be true to execute. First call without confirm shows a warning.

list_storages

List storage pools across the cluster with capacity and usage info.

Args: node: Optional. Filter by node name.

list_storage_content

List content of a storage pool (ISOs, templates, backups, disk images).

Args: node: Name of the Proxmox node. storage_name: Name of the storage pool (e.g. 'local', 'local-lvm'). content_type: Optional. Filter by type: 'iso', 'vztmpl', 'backup', 'images', 'rootdir'.

create_vm

Create a new QEMU virtual machine.

The VM is created stopped by default. Use start_after_create=true to auto-start.

Args: node: Target node name (e.g. 'pve'). name: VM name. cores: Number of CPU cores (default 1). memory: Memory in MB (default 2048). disk_size: Disk size with unit (default '32G'). Examples: '10G', '100G', '1T'. storage_pool: Storage for disk (default 'local-lvm'). iso: Optional ISO volume ID for installation (e.g. 'local:iso/ubuntu-24.04.iso'). os_type: OS type (default 'l26' for Linux). Options: l26, l24, win11, win10, other. net_bridge: Network bridge (default 'vmbr0'). start_after_create: Start VM after creation (default false). vmid: Optional specific VMID. Auto-assigned if not provided.

create_container

Create a new LXC container from a template.

Args: node: Target node name (e.g. 'pve'). name: Container hostname. template: Template volume ID (e.g. 'local:vztmpl/debian-12-standard_12.7-1_amd64.tar.zst'). Use list_storage_content with content_type='vztmpl' to find available templates. cores: Number of CPU cores (default 1). memory: Memory in MB (default 512). disk_size: Root disk size in GB (default 8). storage_pool: Storage for rootfs (default 'local-lvm'). net_bridge: Network bridge (default 'vmbr0'). password: Optional root password. ssh_public_keys: Optional SSH public keys for root access. start_after_create: Start container after creation (default false). vmid: Optional specific VMID. Auto-assigned if not provided.

clone_guest

Clone an existing VM or container. Auto-detects type and node.

Creates a full (independent) clone by default. Set full_clone=false for a linked clone.

Args: vmid: Source VM/container VMID to clone. new_name: Optional name for the clone. target_node: Optional target node for the clone (for cross-node cloning). full_clone: Full clone (true, default) or linked clone (false). target_storage: Optional target storage for the clone's disks. new_vmid: Optional VMID for the clone. Auto-assigned if not provided.

delete_guest

Permanently delete a VM or container. IRREVERSIBLE.

The guest must be stopped before deletion. All disk images will be destroyed.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container to delete. confirm: Must be true to execute. First call without confirm shows a warning.

list_backups

List backup files across storages.

Args: node: Optional. Filter by node name. storage_name: Optional. Filter by storage name. vmid: Optional. Filter by VMID to see backups of a specific guest.

create_backup

Create a backup (vzdump) of a VM or container.

Args: vmid: The numeric ID of the VM or container to back up. storage_name: Target storage for the backup (default 'local'). mode: Backup mode: 'snapshot' (no downtime, default), 'suspend', or 'stop'. compress: Compression: 'zstd' (default), 'lzo', 'gzip', or '0' (none). notes: Optional notes/description for the backup.

restore_backup

Restore a VM or container from a backup file.

Args: volid: Volume ID of the backup (e.g. 'local:backup/vzdump-qemu-100-2024_03_04.vma.zst'). Use list_backups to find available backups. node: Target node for the restored guest. vmid: Optional VMID for the restored guest. Auto-assigned if not provided. storage_pool: Storage for restored disks (default 'local-lvm'). guest_type: Type of guest: 'vm' or 'container'. confirm: Must be true to execute. First call without confirm shows a warning.

exec_command
