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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

    "arguments": {}

## Why vps_recovery_start is rated High

This is an Execute category tool because it triggers an external operation (VPS system state transition) whose consequences depend on what an agent does next in recovery mode. While not immediately destructive, booting into recovery mode grants elevated access to the entire VPS and enables potentially dangerous follow-up actions (data modification, deletion, credential exposure).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Boot VPS into recovery mode' - a system-level operation that changes the operational state of infrastructure. Recovery mode enables administrative access and system reconfiguration with effects that depend on subsequent user actions."

## Use case

AI agents invoke vps_recovery_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_recovery_start": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "vps_recovery_start_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
