WHAT IT DOES

What virus_scan_web does on Aapanel

AI agents invoke virus_scan_web to trigger actions in Aapanel. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why virus_scan_web is rated High

This tool actively executes a scanning operation against a website, triggering external operations (vulnerability scanning) that probe the target site. It's not a passive read — it runs active scanning processes which can have significant effects including generating network traffic, triggering security alerts on target systems, and consuming server resources.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

virus_scan_web Rate-limited

virus_scan_web stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
