WHAT IT DOES

What ssl_renew does on Aapanel

AI agents use ssl_renew 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 ssl_renew is rated Medium

Renewing an SSL certificate modifies/replaces the certificate associated with a site. This is a reversible write operation (the certificate can be updated again), not destructive. Misuse could cause service disruption if renewal fails or applies wrong cert, hence medium severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

ssl_renew Rate-limited

ssl_renew 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 ssl_renew call is checked against it from then on.
