## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

    "name": "ssl_save_cert",
    "arguments": {}

## Why ssl_save_cert is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies SSL certificate data stored on the panel, qualifying as Write rather than Read (retrieves) or Execute (runs code). The severity is high because compromised or malicious SSL certificates could enable man-in-the-middle attacks, impersonate legitimate services, or redirect traffic.

From the tool's own definition: "ssl_save_cert: 'Save/upload an SSL certificate to the panel' — explicitly modifies system SSL certificate storage by writing data to the panel infrastructure."

## Use case

AI agents use ssl_save_cert 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Aapanel:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ssl_save_cert": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ssl_save_cert_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
