WHAT IT DOES

What create_dockercompose_application does on Coolify MCP Server

AI agents use create_dockercompose_application to create or update resources in Coolify MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Coolify MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_dockercompose_application needs a policy

This tool creates a new application resource from a Docker Compose configuration. It is a Write operation (creating a new resource) that is reversible. However, severity is high because deploying a Docker Compose application could spin up containers, expose network services, consume server resources, and potentially introduce security vulnerabilities depending on the compose configuration provided.

create_dockercompose_application Rate-limited

create_dockercompose_application stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
