WHAT IT DOES

What enable_app does on AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server

AI agents invoke enable_app to trigger actions in AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server. 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`appId`	string	Yes	The app ID to enable (e.g., "tasks", "deck", "photos")

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why enable_app is rated High

Enabling an app triggers external operations on the Nextcloud server, activating code and functionality system-wide. This goes beyond a simple write (data creation/modification) — it executes app code and changes system behavior. Misuse by an AI agent could activate malicious or unintended apps with broad system impact, warranting high severity.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs enable_app safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For enable_app, this is the rule to start with:

enable_app Rate-limited

enable_app 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.
