WHAT IT DOES

What rename_api_token does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents use rename_api_token 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 rename_api_token is rated Medium

The tool modifies an existing API token by changing its name/label. This is a Write operation (reversible change to data). Severity is medium because renaming an API token has limited blast radius—it affects the token's human-readable identifier but typically does not impact the token's functionality or grant the AI new permissions. However, confusion from renaming could lead to operational errors.

From the tool's definition Tool is named "rename_api_token" and described as "Rename an existing API token". Renaming is a reversible modification operation that updates metadata/properties of an existing resource without deleting it or executing arbitrary code.
