What vps_docker_stop does on Hostinger
AI agents invoke vps_docker_stop 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.
Why vps_docker_stop is rated High
Stopping a Docker project is an Execute-class operation: it triggers an external action (halting a containerized application) whose real-world effects depend on context (which project, what services depend on it, data consistency during shutdown). While not permanently destructive like deletion, it disrupts service availability and can impact running operations, warranting 'high' severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'vps_docker_stop' and description 'Stop a Docker project' indicate execution of a command that halts a running container/service.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs vps_docker_stop 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_docker_stop, this is the rule to start with:
vps_docker_stop 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hostinger, apply this rule, and every vps_docker_stop call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about vps_docker_stop
Stop a Docker project. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Hostinger MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Hostinger MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vps_docker_stop: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Hostinger. Nothing to install.
vps_docker_stop is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vps_docker_stop rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for vps_docker_stop. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
vps_docker_stop is provided by the Hostinger MCP server (idugeni/hostinger-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
