AI agents may call private_keys to permanently remove or destroy resources in Coolify. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call private_keys in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Coolify. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so private_keys only ever does what you allow.

What does the private_keys tool do? +

Manage SSH keys (CRUD). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Coolify MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on private_keys? +

Register the Coolify MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for private_keys: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Coolify. Nothing to install.

What risk level is private_keys? +

private_keys is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit private_keys? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the private_keys rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block private_keys completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for private_keys. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides private_keys? +

private_keys is provided by the Coolify MCP server (@masonator/coolify-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
