Emergency stop all running applications

Stops all apps causing full outage

Part of the Coolify MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@masonator/coolify-mcp Execute Risk 5/5

AI agents invoke stop_all_apps to trigger processes or run actions in Coolify. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

stop_all_apps can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the stop_all_apps tool do? +

Emergency stop all running applications. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Coolify MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on stop_all_apps? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for stop_all_apps. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Coolify MCP server.

What risk level is stop_all_apps? +

stop_all_apps is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit stop_all_apps? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stop_all_apps rule in your Intercept 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 stop_all_apps completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for stop_all_apps. 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 stop_all_apps? +

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