Short answer

How can I manage IP whitelists using my AI?

You can authorize new IPs, see your current list, or remove old ones by simply asking your AI client. This turns your chat interface into a remote control for your Webshare access settings.

Access control outcomes.

Where your changes land.

Your AI handles the technical updates to your whitelist.

ACCESS

Grant new access

The AI adds specific IP addresses to your allowed list. You get immediate authorization for new connections.

AUDIT

View current list

Your agent pulls a full list of all currently authorized IPs. You can review who has access at any time.

SECURITY

Remove old IPs

The AI strips authorization from specific addresses. This lets you quickly close access gaps.

HUMAN

Manual review

You decide which IPs are safe to add or remove. The AI only executes the commands you explicitly approve.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a change.

The AI translates your natural language into direct API calls to Webshare.

  1. Check current status

    Before making changes, your agent can pull the existing whitelist to see what is already active.

    list_authorized_ips

  2. Add new addresses

    When you provide a new IP, the AI sends the authorization request to Webshare.

    authorize_new_ip

  3. Remove access

    If an IP is no longer needed, the AI revokes its permission immediately.

    revoke_ip_authorization

  4. Confirm changes

    The AI verifies the action was successful and reports the updated state back to you.

    list_authorized_ips
