WHAT IT DOES

What get_disk_usage does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents call get_disk_usage to retrieve information from cPanel MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_disk_usage is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only query of disk usage statistics. It retrieves information about quota, used space, and limits—no side effects, no data modification, no code execution. The lowest severity is appropriate since an AI agent misusing this tool could only access usage information, which poses minimal security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_disk_usage' and description 'Get account disk space usage summary (quota, used, limits)' indicates a retrieval operation that queries disk usage metrics without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
