WHAT IT DOES

What enable_modsecurity_domain does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents use enable_modsecurity_domain 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.

RISK

Why enable_modsecurity_domain is rated Medium

This tool modifies domain security settings by enabling ModSecurity, which is a configuration change that affects how traffic to those domains is processed. While reversible, it has potential blast radius if misapplied to critical domains (could block legitimate traffic or cause service disruptions), justifying 'medium' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool enables a security module (ModSecurity) for specific domains, modifying the security configuration state of those domains. The verb 'enable' indicates a configuration change that is reversible (can be disabled).

enable_modsecurity_domain Rate-limited

enable_modsecurity_domain stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
