WHAT IT DOES

What disable_passenger_app does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents invoke disable_passenger_app 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.

RISK

Why disable_passenger_app is rated High

This tool stops a running Passenger application, which is an operational state change that affects a live service. It triggers an external operation (stopping a web application) rather than merely reading or writing data. While potentially reversible (the app could be re-enabled), stopping a production application can cause service outages, making it high severity.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs disable_passenger_app safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and cPanel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For disable_passenger_app, this is the rule to start with:

disable_passenger_app Rate-limited

disable_passenger_app stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
