MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Plesk MCP Server tools

Execute · High plesk_backup_trigger This tool executes a backup operation, which is an external process with side effects that cannot be reversed by simply re-running the tool. Execute · High plesk_restart_service Restarting system services is an Execute category action because it runs/triggers external operations whose consequences depend on the arguments supplied. Write · High plesk_fail2ban_unban_ip This tool modifies Fail2Ban's ban list by removing an IP, which is a reversible write operation (the IP can be re-banned). Write · High plesk_fail2ban_whitelist_ip This tool modifies Fail2Ban configuration by adding an IP to the whitelist, which is a reversible write operation.

4 of Plesk MCP Server's 9 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Plesk MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Plesk MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "plesk_fail2ban_unban_ip": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "plesk_fail2ban_unban_ip_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "plesk_fail2ban_check_ip": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "plesk_fail2ban_check_ip_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Plesk MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
