WHAT IT DOES

What create_project_environment does on Coolify MCP Tools

AI agents use create_project_environment 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_project_environment needs a policy

Creating a project environment is a reversible write operation. It adds a new environment configuration to a project but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The blast radius is moderate because misconfigured environments could affect application behavior, but the operation itself is straightforwardly reversible by deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Create a new environment for a project' — this creates a new configuration object/environment that can be modified or deleted later.
