What create_ai_agent does on 1Panel MCP Server
AI agents use create_ai_agent 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.
Why create_ai_agent is rated Medium
The tool creates a new AI agent via XPack, which is a Write operation (provisioning/creating a new resource). However, deploying an AI agent on server infrastructure could have significant blast radius if misconfigured or misused — it could consume resources, open network endpoints, or act autonomously. Severity is high due to the nature of AI agent deployment.
From the tool's definition 'Create AI agent (XPack)' — 'Create' indicates a Write operation that provisions a new AI agent resource

The rule that runs create_ai_agent 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 create_ai_agent, this is the rule to start with:
create_ai_agent 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 1Panel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_ai_agent call is checked against it from then on.
