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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "vps_stop",
    "arguments": {}
  }

## Why vps_stop is rated High

This tool executes a command against infrastructure and causes a real-world effect (stopping a running VPS), but the effect is reversible (the VPS can be restarted). It is not Destructive because data is not deleted or permanently lost. It is not Write because it does not create or modify data—it changes operational state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'vps_stop' and description 'Stop a virtual machine' indicate an action that triggers an external operation (halting a VPS instance) whose effects are immediate and depend on which VPS is targeted."

## Use case

AI agents invoke vps_stop 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_stop": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "vps_stop_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
