WHAT IT DOES

What disinfect_files does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents call disinfect_files 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 disinfect_files is rated Critical

Quarantining or disinfecting files involves irreversible modifications — files are moved, altered, or removed from their original locations. Quarantine operations relocate files in a way that can break applications, and disinfection may permanently alter or delete file content. These actions cannot be easily undone, especially if files are modified in-place or purged.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs disinfect_files 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 disinfect_files, this is the rule to start with:

disinfect_files Hidden

disinfect_files is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
