WHAT IT DOES

What create_cronjob does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents invoke create_cronjob 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_cronjob is rated High

Creating a cronjob schedules arbitrary code or commands to execute repeatedly on the server. While the creation act itself is a Write, the primary purpose and effect is to trigger recurring execution of operations, making it an Execute-category tool. Misuse could lead to persistent malicious command execution, giving it high severity.

From the tool's definition 'Create cronjob' - creates a scheduled job that will execute commands/scripts automatically on a recurring basis

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_cronjob Rate-limited

create_cronjob 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.
