Action classes & denylist

The four action classes, their limits, and the commands nothing can run.

Reference for the action system. The guarantees behind these rules are explained in the safety model.

Classes

ClassWhat it doesBuilt-in limits
config_editApplies a fix to a plugin config as a diffTimestamped backup first; all-or-nothing apply; one-click rollback. Paths must be relative, inside the server root, and match an allowlisted glob. Can never target server.properties, ops.json or banned-ips.json
console_commandRuns a console commandOnly commands on the allowlist you define, and never anything on the denylist below
plugin_toggleEnables or disables a pluginCan never disable the MCTotem agent itself
restart_requestRequests a server restartA request only; it never issues a console stop

Each class is enabled separately per server and starts disabled, in approve-each mode.

The hardcoded command denylist

These commands are refused no matter what, and the denylist overrides any allowlist. It is enforced in the MCTotem backend and, independently, inside the agent plugin on your server:

op, deop, stop, restart, ban-ip, pardon-ip, reload, execute

In addition, any command or path containing one of these substrings is refused, blocking secret access, privilege escalation and path traversal:

server.properties, rcon, ops.json, sudo, .., ` (backtick), $(

Validation before anything runs

Proposed actions are schema-validated individually; malformed ones are dropped before they are even stored. The allowlist and denylist run at proposal time, at approval time, and at execution time on your server, each check independent of the others.
