WHAT IT DOES

What ftp_delete does on Aapanel

AI agents call ftp_delete to permanently remove resources in Aapanel, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why ftp_delete is rated Critical

Deleting an FTP user is a destructive action that cannot be undone without manual restoration. It permanently revokes credentials and access, affecting authentication and file transfer capabilities. This is more severe than Write (reversible modifications) because deletion cannot be easily recovered.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an FTP user' — this irreversibly removes an FTP account and its associated access.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ftp_delete 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 ftp_delete, this is the rule to start with:

ftp_delete Hidden

ftp_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
