WHAT IT DOES

What compress_files does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents use compress_files to create or update resources in 1Panel MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 1Panel MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why compress_files is rated Medium

Compressing files creates a new archive file (Write) without deleting the originals. It is reversible since the originals remain intact. Misuse could consume disk space or obfuscate files, giving it medium severity.

From the tool's definition Compress files/directories — creates a new compressed archive from existing files

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs compress_files safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 1Panel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For compress_files, this is the rule to start with:

compress_files Rate-limited

compress_files 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.
