WHAT IT DOES

What create_dir does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents use create_dir 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 create_dir is rated Medium

Creating a directory modifies the filesystem state but is reversible—directories can be removed. This is a Write action: it creates new data/structure without permanent destruction. Severity is medium because mass directory creation could consume disk space or interfere with system organization, but the impact is containable and undoable.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_dir' and description 'Create directory' indicate a data/filesystem creation operation that is reversible (directories can be deleted).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_dir Rate-limited

create_dir 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 1Panel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_dir call is checked against it from then on.
