What list_ssl_keys does on cPanel MCP Server
AI agents call list_ssl_keys 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.
Why list_ssl_keys is rated Low
Although this is a Read operation (retrieves data with no side effects), it carries high severity because SSL private keys are cryptographic secrets of extreme value. Exposing them to an AI agent or attacker grants ability to impersonate the account holder, decrypt encrypted communications, and compromise all HTTPS services.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_ssl_keys' and description 'List all SSL private keys on the account' indicate data retrieval without modification.
