WHAT IT DOES

What ftp_set_status does on Aapanel

AI agents use ftp_set_status 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_status is rated Medium

This tool modifies user account status rather than reading data (Read) or executing arbitrary code (Execute). The change is reversible—a disabled user can be re-enabled. While disabling a user could impact access and operations, it does not permanently delete data or cause irreversible harm (Destructive), nor does it move money (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'ftp_set_status'; description: 'Enable or disable an FTP user.' The operation modifies the state of an FTP user account (enable/disable), which is a reversible state change.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

ftp_set_status Rate-limited

ftp_set_status 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.
