What site_add_domain does on Aapanel
AI agents use site_add_domain 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 site_add_domain is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies site configuration by associating a domain, which is a Write operation. It is reversible (domains can be removed), so not Destructive. Severity is medium because misconfigured domains could cause service disruption or be leveraged for subdomain takeover attacks, but the operation itself is not inherently destructive or financial.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'site_add_domain' and description 'Add a domain to an existing site' indicate creation/modification of site configuration. The verb 'Add' and action of associating a domain with a site represent reversible data modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs site_add_domain 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 site_add_domain, this is the rule to start with:
site_add_domain 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 site_add_domain call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about site_add_domain
Add a domain to an existing site. 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 site_add_domain: 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.
site_add_domain 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 site_add_domain 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 site_add_domain. 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.
site_add_domain 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.
