WHAT IT DOES

What change_ftp_quota does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents use change_ftp_quota to create or update resources in cPanel MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your cPanel MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why change_ftp_quota is rated Medium

This tool modifies FTP account parameters (quota limits) rather than creating/deleting accounts or executing arbitrary commands. Changes to quotas are reversible—the quota can be adjusted again to previous values. The blast radius is medium because misconfiguration could disrupt user access or storage but does not destroy data or execute code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'change_ftp_quota' and description 'Change an FTP account' indicate modification of existing FTP account settings, a reversible operation on hosting account configuration.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs change_ftp_quota safely

change_ftp_quota Rate-limited

change_ftp_quota 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.
