List all email accounts with disk usage info
AI agents call list_email_accounts to retrieve information from cPanel MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays existing email account information (accounts and their disk usage). It performs a query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could enumerate email accounts but cannot manipulate them or access sensitive content beyond metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_email_accounts' and description 'List all email accounts with disk usage info' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and cPanel MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_email_accounts:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_email_accounts": {}
}
}list_email_accounts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the cPanel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_email_accounts: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches cPanel MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_email_accounts is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_email_accounts rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_email_accounts. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_email_accounts is provided by the cPanel MCP Server MCP server (0xhayd3n/cpanel-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from cPanel MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
