WHAT IT DOES

What delete_ssl_certificate does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents call delete_ssl_certificate to permanently remove resources in cPanel MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_ssl_certificate is rated Critical

Deletion of SSL certificates cannot be undone and will break HTTPS functionality for the affected domain, causing service disruption and potential security warnings for users. This is a destructive operation with significant blast radius if invoked incorrectly by an AI agent, as it immediately impacts production systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description confirms 'Delete/uninstall an SSL certificate from a domain'. This irreversibly removes security credentials.
