WHAT IT DOES

What ftp_set_password does on Aapanel

AI agents use ftp_set_password to create or update resources in Aapanel, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Aapanel environment.

RISK

Why ftp_set_password is rated Medium

This tool modifies authentication credentials for FTP access, which is a reversible but security-critical write operation. An AI agent misusing this could lock out legitimate FTP users or grant unauthorized access by changing passwords to known values. The blast radius is high because FTP access often controls file deployment and website content, but it is not destructive (passwords can be reset) or financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ftp_set_password' and description 'Change FTP user password' indicate modification of existing credentials.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

ftp_set_password Rate-limited

ftp_set_password 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.
