What vps_list does on Hostinger
AI agents call vps_list 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.
Why vps_list is rated Low
This tool queries and returns information about existing virtual machines without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk if misused—an agent could at worst retrieve information about the infrastructure it should already have authorized access to.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'vps_list' and description 'Get list of all virtual machines' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs vps_list 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_list, this is the rule to start with:
vps_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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_list call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Hostinger MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vps_list: 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_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vps_list 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_list. 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_list 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.
