What project_create does on Aapanel
AI agents use project_create 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.
Why project_create is rated Medium
The 'project_create' operation creates new project records, modifying the system state reversibly. This is a Write action with high severity due to the aaPanel context (server/web hosting management platform) where new projects could affect resource allocation, billing, or service configuration. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the tool name is unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'project_create' which indicates creation of a new resource. Description is empty, but the naming pattern aligns with write operations (create, post, upload).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs project_create 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 project_create, this is the rule to start with:
project_create 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Aapanel, apply this rule, and every project_create call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about project_create
project_create is a write tool on the Aapanel MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Aapanel MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Aapanel MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_create: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Aapanel. Nothing to install.
project_create is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the project_create rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for project_create. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
project_create is provided by the Aapanel MCP server (nipunanirmal/aapanel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
