snippets_create

Create a new configuration snippet

How to control snippets_create ↓

AI agents use snippets_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 new configuration snippets in a Remnawave VPN panel system. While creation is theoretically reversible (via deletion), the tool directly modifies the system's configuration state. In a VPN infrastructure context, misconfigured snippets could impact network security and service delivery.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'snippets_create' combined with the description 'Create a new configuration snippet' indicates irreversible data creation within a VPN panel management system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access snippets_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 snippets_create:

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

snippets_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.
