What create_redirect does on cPanel MCP Server
AI agents use create_redirect to create or update resources in cPanel MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your cPanel MCP Server environment.
Why create_redirect is rated Medium
Creating a URL redirect is a write operation that modifies the hosting configuration by adding a new redirect rule. It creates or modifies data reversibly—redirects can be updated or deleted.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_redirect' and description 'Create a URL redirect' indicate creation of a new resource (a URL redirect rule). This is a reversible modification operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_redirect safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and cPanel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_redirect, this is the rule to start with:
create_redirect 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect cPanel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_redirect call is checked against it from then on.
