What vps_keys_create does on Hostinger
AI agents use vps_keys_create 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.
Why vps_keys_create is rated Medium

From the tool's definition Tool name 'vps_keys_create' and description 'Upload a new SSH public key' indicate creation of a new credential/key resource.

The rule that runs vps_keys_create 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_keys_create, this is the rule to start with:
vps_keys_create 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hostinger, apply this rule, and every vps_keys_create call is checked against it from then on.
