WHAT IT DOES

What get_file_tree does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents call get_file_tree to retrieve information from 1Panel MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_file_tree is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays the hierarchical structure of a directory tree, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It allows inspection of filesystem structure but cannot alter, delete, or execute any files or commands. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could discover sensitive directory paths but cannot act on them directly through this tool alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_file_tree' and description 'Get directory tree' indicate a query/retrieval operation that lists directory contents without modifying, deleting, or executing anything.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

get_file_tree Allowed

get_file_tree is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
