WHAT IT DOES

What plugin_list does on Aapanel

AI agents call plugin_list 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 plugin_list is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves information about installed software/plugins without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only information retrieval action with no side effects or blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'plugin_list' and description 'List installed software/plugins' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

plugin_list Allowed

plugin_list 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": {
    "plugin_list": {}
  }
}

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 plugin_list call is checked against it from then on.
