List all cron jobs configured for a cPanel account
AI agents call cpanel_cron_list to retrieve information from ItchWHMMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and returns information about existing cron jobs without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a read-only operation that has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—an attacker would only gain visibility into scheduled tasks, not the ability to modify or trigger them.
From the tool's definition Tool name is "cpanel_cron_list" and description states "List all cron jobs configured for a cPanel account" — this is a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all cron jobs configured for a cPanel account. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ItchWHMMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ItchWHM MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cpanel_cron_list: 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 ItchWHMMCP. Nothing to install.
cpanel_cron_list 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 cpanel_cron_list 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 cpanel_cron_list. 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.
cpanel_cron_list is provided by the ItchWHM MCP server (manofsadness/itchwhmmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
