AI agents use users_update 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.
This tool modifies user records in the VPN administration system but does not delete data irreversibly. Updates are typically reversible by applying counter-updates. Severity is medium because misuse could modify user permissions, credentials, or subscription settings, affecting service access and billing, but the action can be undone. Confidence is high given the clear naming and description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'users_update' and description 'Update an existing Remnawave user' indicate modification of user data. The verb 'update' is reversible and non-destructive.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access users_update 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 users_update:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"users_update": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "users_update_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}users_update 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.

Update an existing Remnawave user. 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 users_update: 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.
users_update 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 users_update 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 users_update. 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.
users_update 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.
