WHAT IT DOES

What vps_create_snapshot does on Hostinger

AI agents use vps_create_snapshot to create or update resources in Hostinger, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hostinger environment.

RISK

Why vps_create_snapshot is rated Medium

Creating a VM snapshot is a reversible write operation—it creates a new data object (the snapshot) without deleting or destroying existing data. While snapshots consume resources and can be deleted, the creation action itself is non-destructive and can be undone by deleting the snapshot.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'vps_create_snapshot' and description 'Create a snapshot of a virtual machine' indicate a data creation operation that modifies VM state by generating a snapshot artifact.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs vps_create_snapshot safely

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

vps_create_snapshot Rate-limited

vps_create_snapshot stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
