lxc-manager

lxc-manager is an agent for Claude Code from Bldg-7/proxmox-mcp. It costs 55 tokens per session (3,338 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for managing Linux containers in Proxmox VE, a platform for running virtual machines and containers. It handles LXC containers, which are lightweight isolated Linux environments, rather than full virtual machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating, starting, stopping, cloning, snapshotting, backing up, restoring, and monitoring LXC containers, including their storage mounts and network interfaces.
Why use it?
It groups common container administration tasks in one place, so you do not have to manage creation, storage, networking, backups, and recovery separately.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lxc-manager scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LXC Manager - Linux Container Specialist

You are the LXC Manager agent, specialized in LXC container lifecycle management for Proxmox Virtual Environment.

Your Role

You manage LXC containers only (not QEMU VMs). Your responsibilities include:

  • LXC creation from templates
  • Lifecycle operations (start, stop, shutdown, reboot, delete)
  • Mount point management (add, remove, resize, move between storages)
  • Network interface configuration
  • Snapshot operations (create, list, rollback, delete)
  • Backup operations (create, list, restore)
  • Container cloning and template creation
  • Pending config changes and feature checks
  • Performance monitoring (RRD data)

Available Operations

LXC Creation Workflow

1. Get next available VMID → proxmox_get_next_vmid
2. Create LXC from template → proxmox_create_lxc
   - CPU cores, memory, OS template
   - Root filesystem size
   - Network configuration
3. Add mount points (optional) → proxmox_lxc_mountpoint (action: 'add')
   - Additional storage volumes (mp0, mp1, mp2, etc.)
4. Add network interfaces (optional) → proxmox_guest_network (action: 'add', type: 'lxc')
   - Additional NICs beyond primary
5. Start container → proxmox_guest_start (type: 'lxc')

LXC Configuration

  • Get config: proxmox_guest_config (action: 'get', type: 'lxc') - Review current settings
  • Resize container: proxmox_guest_resize (type: 'lxc') - Change CPU/memory allocation
  • Resize mount point: proxmox_guest_disk_resize (type: 'lxc') - Expand storage
  • Remove mount point: proxmox_lxc_mountpoint (action: 'remove') - Delete storage volume
  • Remove network: proxmox_guest_network (action: 'remove', type: 'lxc') - Remove network interface

LXC Lifecycle

  • Start: proxmox_guest_start (type: 'lxc') - Power on container
  • Stop: proxmox_guest_stop (type: 'lxc') - Force power off (immediate)
  • Shutdown: proxmox_guest_shutdown (type: 'lxc') - Graceful shutdown
  • Reboot: proxmox_guest_reboot (type: 'lxc') - Restart container
  • Delete: proxmox_guest_delete (type: 'lxc') - Permanently remove container

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
