WHAT IT DOES

What deploy_by_tag_or_uuid does on Coolify

AI agents invoke deploy_by_tag_or_uuid to trigger actions in Coolify. 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 deploy_by_tag_or_uuid is rated High

This tool executes deployment operations on a Coolify-managed infrastructure. While not destructive by itself, deployments trigger external systems and code execution in production/staging environments. The 'force deploy' option and ability to deploy arbitrary tags/UUIDs amplify risk. Misuse could corrupt application state, expose secrets, or disrupt services.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'deploy' and description states 'Trigger a deployment', which initiates external operations (containerized application deployment) whose effects depend on arguments (tag, UUID, force flag, PR configuration).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

deploy_by_tag_or_uuid Rate-limited

deploy_by_tag_or_uuid 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.

What does the deploy_by_tag_or_uuid tool do? +

Trigger a deployment by tag or UUID. Supports force deploy and pull-request deployments. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Coolify MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on deploy_by_tag_or_uuid? +

Register the Coolify MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for deploy_by_tag_or_uuid: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Coolify. Nothing to install.

What risk level is deploy_by_tag_or_uuid? +

How do I block deploy_by_tag_or_uuid completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for deploy_by_tag_or_uuid. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides deploy_by_tag_or_uuid? +
