Deletes or cancels 6Removes, cancels or revokes something.Claude Code: deny

lambda_create_filesystemCreate a new persistent filesystem in a region (can then be attached to instances at launch).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "lambda_create_filesystem" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Create a new persistent filesystem in a region (can then be attached to instances at launch). Lambda Cloud REST: POST /api/v1/filesystems.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Create filesystem
- destructiveHint: true
lambda_delete_filesystemDelete a persistent filesystem by id.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "lambda_delete_filesystem" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The description says "Irreversible".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Delete a persistent filesystem by id. Irreversible — DESTROYS all data on it. The filesystem must not be attached to any instance. Lambda Cloud REST: DELETE /api/v1/filesystems/{id}.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Delete filesystem
- destructiveHint: true
lambda_launch_instanceLaunch one or more GPU cloud instances.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Launch one or more GPU cloud instances. COSTS MONEY: billing starts as soon as the instance boots (hourly rate per instance_type). Pick region_name + instance_type_name from lambda_list_instance_types (only regions with capacity available), and pass exactly one existing SSH key name in ssh_key_names (create keys in the Lambda dashboard). Lambda Cloud REST: POST /api/v1/instance-operations/launch.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Launch instance
- destructiveHint: true
lambda_restart_instancesRestart one or more running instances by id (a reboot — the instances are NOT destroyed and billing continues).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "lambda_restart_instances" says "restart": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Restart one or more running instances by id (a reboot — the instances are NOT destroyed and billing continues). Lambda Cloud REST: POST /api/v1/instance-operations/restart.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Restart instances
- destructiveHint: true
lambda_terminate_instancesTerminate (permanently destroy) one or more instances by id.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "lambda_terminate_instances" says "terminate": a word for removing or ending something.
- The description says "permanently destroy".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Terminate (permanently destroy) one or more instances by id. This STOPS billing for them but DESTROYS the instances and any non-persistent data — persistent filesystems survive. Irreversible. Lambda Cloud REST: POST /api/v1/instance-operations/terminate.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Terminate instances
- destructiveHint: true
lambda_update_instanceUpdate a live instance's name and/or tags.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "lambda_update_instance" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Update a live instance's name and/or tags. Only provided fields are changed. Lambda Cloud REST: POST /api/v1/instances/{id}.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Update instance
- destructiveHint: true

Only reads 9Looks things up and changes nothing.Claude Code: allow

Why it is in this group
- The name "lambda_get_firewall_ruleset" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Get a single firewall ruleset by id. Lambda Cloud REST: GET /api/v1/firewall-rulesets/{id}.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Get firewall ruleset
- readOnlyHint: true
lambda_get_instanceGet full details of a single instance by id (status, ip, region, instance_type, ssh/filesystem attachments, jupyter url, available actions).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "lambda_get_instance" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. It assumes the server is installed as lambda-labs. Review it before you use it.

Keep track

Get told when this server's tools change: a new tool, a new description, a new class.

Anlyon alternative

6 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
