WHAT IT DOES

What harden_set_two_step_auth does on Aapanel

RISK

Why harden_set_two_step_auth is rated Medium

This tool modifies user authentication settings by toggling 2FA status. While reversible (can be re-enabled or disabled), it affects user account security and could lock users out or weaken security depending on how it's invoked. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money, so Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'harden_set_two_step_auth' and description 'Enable/disable two-factor authentication' indicate creation/modification of user security settings. The verb 'set' and the action of enabling/disabling 2FA are reversible configuration changes.
