WHAT IT DOES

What nginx_get_config does on Aapanel

AI agents call nginx_get_config 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 nginx_get_config is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries Nginx configuration parameters without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is purely informational read access with no side effects. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent could learn system details but cannot alter infrastructure or cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'nginx_get_config' and description 'Get Nginx main configuration parameters' indicate retrieval of existing configuration data with no modification capability.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

nginx_get_config Allowed

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

  "tools": {
    "nginx_get_config": {}
  }
}

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 nginx_get_config call is checked against it from then on.
