WHAT IT DOES

What vps_set_hostname does on Hostinger

AI agents use vps_set_hostname 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.

RISK

Why vps_set_hostname is rated Medium

This tool modifies VM configuration (hostname) but the change is reversible and does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. It fits the Write category as it updates system metadata. Severity is medium because incorrect hostnames could cause service disruption or network connectivity issues, but the change is not destructive and can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Set hostname' operation on a virtual machine, which modifies system configuration settings. The verb 'set' indicates a configuration change that is reversible (hostname can be changed again).

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs vps_set_hostname 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_set_hostname, this is the rule to start with:

vps_set_hostname Rate-limited

vps_set_hostname 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_set_hostname call is checked against it from then on.
