What install_php_extension does on 1Panel MCP Server
AI agents invoke install_php_extension 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.
Why install_php_extension is rated High
Installing a PHP extension executes a system-level operation that modifies the server environment by adding software. This is more than a simple write (data creation/modification) — it runs a package installation process with side effects on the server's PHP runtime. While not irreversibly destructive, misuse could introduce malicious or unstable extensions affecting server stability and security.
