WHAT IT DOES

What create_container does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents invoke create_container to trigger actions in 1Panel MCP Server. 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 create_container is rated High

Creating a container launches a new runtime environment that can execute arbitrary code/processes. While it is technically a 'write' (creating a resource), the act of instantiating and running a container constitutes an external execution operation with significant blast radius — a misused container could run malicious processes, consume resources, or serve as a pivot point.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_container' and description 'Create container' indicate spawning a new Docker container, which is an external operation that executes a containerized workload

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_container Rate-limited

create_container 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.

policy.json

{

      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_container_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 1Panel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_container call is checked against it from then on.
