WHAT IT DOES

What mittwald_project_ssh does on Mittwald MCP Server

Why mittwald_project_ssh is rated High

Establishing an SSH connection and providing an interactive terminal allows execution of arbitrary commands on the remote project environment. This is an Execute-category action with high severity since an AI agent could run destructive or unauthorized commands on the server through this terminal access.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mittwald_project_ssh safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mittwald MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For mittwald_project_ssh, this is the rule to start with:

mittwald_project_ssh Rate-limited

mittwald_project_ssh stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
