## Why vps_set_nameservers is rated Medium

This tool modifies DNS nameserver settings for a VPS, which is a reversible configuration change. It does not delete or create infrastructure (ruling out Destructive/Execute for creation), nor does it move money. However, the impact is high because misconfiguring nameservers can break domain resolution and service availability, affecting critical infrastructure.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'vps_set_nameservers' and description 'Set nameservers for a virtual machine' indicate modification of DNS configuration for infrastructure."

## Use case

AI agents use vps_set_nameservers 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.
