What disable_modsecurity_domain does on cPanel MCP Server
AI agents invoke disable_modsecurity_domain to trigger actions in cPanel MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why disable_modsecurity_domain is rated High
Disabling ModSecurity removes active web application firewall protection for a domain, exposing it to attacks. This is an operational/security configuration change that triggers an external security subsystem change. It is reversible (can be re-enabled), so it's Execute rather than Destructive, but the blast radius is high because it removes a security layer that could allow exploitation of vulnerabilities.
