AI agents call server_resources to retrieve information from Coolify without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about server resources without making changes, executing code, or performing destructive actions. It falls squarely into the Read category—a passive data retrieval operation with no side effects. Severity is low because unauthorized access to resource metrics is generally lower risk than modifying infrastructure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'server_resources' with description 'Resources on server' indicates a retrieval/query operation. No mutation, deletion, or execution keywords present. The description suggests fetching information about server resource status or metrics.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Resources on server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Coolify MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Coolify MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for server_resources: 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.
server_resources is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the server_resources 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 server_resources. 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.
server_resources is provided by the Coolify MCP server (jurislm/coolify-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
