WHAT IT DOES

What reboot_vps does on 20i MCP Server

AI agents invoke reboot_vps to trigger actions in 20i MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why reboot_vps is rated High

Rebooting a VPS is an external operation that causes service interruption and restart of all running processes. While not permanently destructive (data is preserved), it disrupts live services, terminates active connections, and can cause downtime. This qualifies as Execute with high severity due to the blast radius of taking down a live server environment.

From the tool's definition 'Reboot a VPS' — triggers an external operation (system reboot) on a live virtual private server

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs reboot_vps safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 20i MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For reboot_vps, this is the rule to start with:

reboot_vps Rate-limited

reboot_vps stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    "reboot_vps": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "reboot_vps_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 20i MCP Server, apply this rule, and every reboot_vps call is checked against it from then on.
