WHAT IT DOES

What site_set_password does on Aapanel

AI agents use site_set_password 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 site_set_password is rated Medium

This tool modifies site authentication credentials, which is a reversible write operation. While it doesn't delete data, changing passwords has significant security implications—an attacker could lock out legitimate users or grant unauthorized access. However, the action itself is reversible (password can be reset again), so it is Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'site_set_password' and description states 'Set HTTP basic access password for a site.' The verb 'Set' indicates modification of configuration data (the HTTP basic auth password).

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

site_set_password Rate-limited

site_set_password 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.
