WHAT IT DOES

What decompress_file does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents use decompress_file 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 decompress_file is rated Medium

Decompressing an archive creates/overwrites files on the filesystem. This is a Write operation (reversible in principle, though it can overwrite existing files). It does not delete data irreversibly on its own, but misuse could overwrite important files. Severity is medium due to potential for path traversal or overwriting existing data.

From the tool's definition Decompress archive — extracts files from an archive and writes them to the filesystem

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

decompress_file Rate-limited

decompress_file 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.
