  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why enable_hotlink_protection is rated Medium

Enabling hotlink protection modifies server configuration to prevent direct linking of images/content from external sites. This is a Write operation because it creates or modifies settings reversibly—it can be disabled later. It does not execute arbitrary commands (Execute), permanently delete data (Destructive), or move money (Financial).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'enable_hotlink_protection' and description 'Enable hotlink protection' indicate a configuration change that modifies server settings (hotlink protection rules)."

## Use case

AI agents use enable_hotlink_protection 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.
