WHAT IT DOES

What prune_containers does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents call prune_containers to permanently remove resources in 1Panel MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why prune_containers is rated Critical

Container pruning is a destructive operation that permanently removes stopped containers. This action cannot be undone and could result in loss of container configurations, logs, and data associated with those containers. The term 'prune' is standard Docker terminology for irreversible cleanup operations.

From the tool's definition 'Prune containers' - pruning removes all stopped containers irreversibly

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

prune_containers Hidden

prune_containers is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
