WHAT IT DOES

What create_ftp_user does on 20i MCP Server

AI agents use create_ftp_user to create or update resources in 20i MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 20i MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why create_ftp_user is rated Medium

Creating an FTP user is a reversible data creation operation (users can be deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move funds. However, severity is high because an FTP user grants file system access to a hosting package; misconfiguration could allow unauthorized file access or modification of customer websites, with significant blast radius to website integrity and customer data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_ftp_user' and description 'Create an FTP user for a hosting package' indicate creation of a new FTP user account, which is a write/creation operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_ftp_user safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 20i MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_ftp_user, this is the rule to start with:

create_ftp_user Rate-limited

create_ftp_user 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.
