WHAT IT DOES

What storage_get_path_size does on Aapanel

AI agents call storage_get_path_size to retrieve information from Aapanel without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why storage_get_path_size is rated Low

There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no irreversible actions. The recursive traversal is purely informational.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'storage_get_path_size' and description 'Get detailed size breakdown of a path (recursive)' indicate a retrieval operation that queries filesystem metadata without modification or execution.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

storage_get_path_size Allowed

storage_get_path_size is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
