WHAT IT DOES

What list_processes does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents call list_processes 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 list_processes is rated Low

The tool retrieves and displays process information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. Listing processes is a read-only operation that merely queries system state. While the broader server can execute code and manage infrastructure, this specific tool is purely informational.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_processes' and description is 'List processes'. This is a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

list_processes Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_processes": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY 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 list_processes call is checked against it from then on.
