What get_host does on 1Panel MCP Server
AI agents call get_host 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.
Why get_host is rated Low
The tool fetches host data (likely hostname, IP, or system information) with no side effects. This is a passive read operation consistent with the Read category. Severity is low because host information is typically non-sensitive baseline infrastructure data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_host' and description 'Get host' indicate a retrieval operation that queries host information without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_host 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_host, this is the rule to start with:
get_host is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 1Panel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get_host call is checked against it from then on.
