## Facts

- Server: Hostinger (`idugeni/hostinger-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/hostinger-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/idugeni/hostinger-mcp
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "vps_docker_start",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why vps_docker_start is rated High

Starting a Docker project executes code within a container whose effects are difficult to predict without knowing the image contents. This is an Execute action because it triggers external operations (container startup) with potentially significant side effects (resource consumption, network exposure, application behavior).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'vps_docker_start' and description 'Start a Docker project' indicate invocation of a containerized application whose behavior and side effects depend on the Docker image, configuration, and runtime environment."

## Use case

AI agents invoke vps_docker_start to trigger actions in Hostinger. 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Hostinger:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "vps_docker_start": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "vps_docker_start_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
