WHAT IT DOES

What update_project does on Coolify

AI agents use update_project 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.

RISK

Why update_project is rated Medium

The tool performs a reversible modification operation on a project resource. 'Update' is a classic Write operation that changes data state but does not delete, destroy, or execute arbitrary code. Severity is medium because project updates in infrastructure management (Coolify context) could affect deployments and configurations, but the operation is not inherently destructive or financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_project' and description 'Update a project by UUID' indicate modification of existing project data without deletion or irreversible destruction.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

update_project Rate-limited

update_project 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.

}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Coolify, apply this rule, and every update_project call is checked against it from then on.
