AI agents use metadata_node_upsert 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.
The tool creates or modifies metadata associated with VPN nodes in the Remnawave panel, which is a reversible data change (Write category). Severity is medium because misconfiguration of node metadata could affect VPN service delivery and user routing, but the change can be undone or corrected. This is less severe than financial operations or destructive deletion, and does not involve arbitrary code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'metadata_node_upsert' and description 'Create or update metadata for a node' indicate reversible modification of node metadata. 'Upsert' is a standard database operation meaning insert-or-update.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access metadata_node_upsert 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 metadata_node_upsert:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"metadata_node_upsert": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "metadata_node_upsert_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}metadata_node_upsert 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Create or update metadata for a node. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Remnawave MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Remnawave MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for metadata_node_upsert: 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 Remnawave. Nothing to install.
metadata_node_upsert is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the metadata_node_upsert 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 metadata_node_upsert. 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.
metadata_node_upsert is provided by the Remnawave MCP server (trackline/mcp-remnawave). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
