Create a new host in Remnawave

How to control hosts_create ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates a new host resource in the Remnawave VPN system. Host creation is a reversible write operation—the resource can be deleted or modified later. While it modifies infrastructure configuration, it is not irreversible (Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), and does not involve financial transactions (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'hosts_create' and description 'Create a new host in Remnawave' indicate data creation/modification. Context shows this is part of a VPN panel management system with 51 administrative tools.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access hosts_create gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Remnawave, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for hosts_create:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "hosts_create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "hosts_create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

hosts_create 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Remnawave — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
