WHAT IT DOES

What vps_get_backups does on Hostinger

AI agents call vps_get_backups to retrieve information from Hostinger without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why vps_get_backups is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and lists existing backup data. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The verb 'get' and the read-only nature of listing backups clearly place it in the Read category with low severity—there is minimal blast radius from misuse, as an AI agent could only access information about backups.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'vps_get_backups' and description 'List backups for a virtual machine' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
