WHAT IT DOES

What docker_container_info does on Aapanel

AI agents call docker_container_info to retrieve information from Aapanel without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why docker_container_info is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata and state information about an existing Docker container without modifying, executing commands within, or deleting any resources. It is a straightforward information-gathering operation analogous to 'docker inspect' or 'docker ps'.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'docker_container_info' and description states 'Get detailed information about a Docker container.' The verb 'Get' and phrase 'detailed information' indicate a read-only query operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs docker_container_info safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Aapanel, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For docker_container_info, this is the rule to start with:

docker_container_info Allowed

docker_container_info is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "docker_container_info": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Aapanel, apply this rule, and every docker_container_info call is checked against it from then on.
