# enable_modsecurity Enable ModSecurity (WAF) for all domains Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `enable_modsecurity`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/enable-modsecurity ## Facts - Tool: `enable_modsecurity` - Server: cPanel MCP Server (`0xhayd3n/cpanel-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/0xHayd3n/cPanel-MCP-Server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "enable_modsecurity", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why enable_modsecurity is rated Medium This tool creates or modifies security configurations (enabling a WAF globally) but the change is reversible—ModSecurity can be disabled if needed. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. While it affects security posture broadly, the primary action is configuration Write rather than Execute, since it applies a predefined security module rather than running dynamic code. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'enable_modsecurity' and description 'Enable ModSecurity (WAF) for all domains' indicate configuration modification. ModSecurity is a Web Application Firewall that when enabled modifies server security settings across all domains." ## Use case AI agents use enable_modsecurity 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches cPanel MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "enable_modsecurity": { "limits": [ { "counter": "enable_modsecurity_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on cPanel MCP Server (163) - `clear_spam_box` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/clear-spam-box.md - `deauthorize_ssh_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/deauthorize-ssh-key.md - `delete_addon_domain` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-addon-domain.md - `delete_autoresponder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-autoresponder.md - `delete_cron_job` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-cron-job.md - `delete_dns_record` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-dns-record.md - `delete_email_account` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-email-account.md - `delete_email_filter` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-email-filter.md - `delete_email_forwarder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-email-forwarder.md - `delete_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-file.md - `delete_ftp_account` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-ftp-account.md - `delete_git_repo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-git-repo.md - `delete_mysql_database` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-mysql-database.md - `delete_mysql_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-mysql-user.md - `delete_parked_domain` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-parked-domain.md - `delete_postgresql_database` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-postgresql-database.md - `delete_postgresql_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-postgresql-user.md - `delete_redirect` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-redirect.md - `delete_ssh_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-ssh-key.md - `delete_ssl_certificate` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-ssl-certificate.md - `delete_subdomain` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/delete-subdomain.md - `disinfect_files` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/disinfect-files.md - `kill_ftp_session` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/kill-ftp-session.md - `remove_2fa` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/remove-2fa.md - `revoke_api_token` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/revoke-api-token.md - `revoke_mysql_privileges` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/revoke-mysql-privileges.md - `revoke_postgresql_privileges` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/revoke-postgresql-privileges.md - `unregister_passenger_app` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/unregister-passenger-app.md - `deploy_git_repo` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/deploy-git-repo.md - `disable_modsecurity` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server/disable-modsecurity.md - …and 133 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/0xhayd3n-cpanel-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
