What create_application_storage does on Coolify
AI agents use create_application_storage to create or update resources in Coolify, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Coolify environment.
Why create_application_storage is rated Medium
This tool creates persistent storage resources for an application, which is a reversible modification operation. It does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), delete data (Destructive), or transfer funds (Financial). While storage creation could have operational consequences, it is fundamentally a Write action that adds new configuration/infrastructure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_application_storage' and description 'Create a storage for an application' indicate data creation and modification operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_application_storage safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Coolify, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_application_storage, this is the rule to start with:
create_application_storage 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Coolify, apply this rule, and every create_application_storage call is checked against it from then on.

create_application_storage is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_application_storage rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
