WHAT IT DOES

What tamper_fix_permissions does on Aapanel

AI agents use tamper_fix_permissions 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 tamper_fix_permissions is rated Medium

This tool modifies filesystem permission settings on files/directories. While framed as a security fix, changing permissions is a reversible write operation. However, it carries high severity because an AI agent misusing this tool could change permissions on critical system files, potentially opening security holes or locking out legitimate access.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

tamper_fix_permissions Rate-limited

tamper_fix_permissions 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.
