Create application from private repository using deploy key
AI agents use create_private_deploykey_application to create or update resources in Coolify MCP Tools — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Coolify MCP Tools environment.
This tool creates a new application entity and associated deployment key, which modifies the Coolify infrastructure state irreversibly in the sense that the created application and its authentication credentials persist until explicitly deleted.
From the tool's definition Tool name indicates 'create' operation with persistent artifact creation (deploy key for private repository authentication).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Create application from private repository using deploy key. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Coolify MCP Tools MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_private_deploykey_application: 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 MCP Tools. Nothing to install.
create_private_deploykey_application is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_private_deploykey_application 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_private_deploykey_application. 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.
create_private_deploykey_application is provided by the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server (jplansink/coolify-mcp-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
