What wp_install does on Hostinger
AI agents invoke wp_install 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.
Why wp_install is rated High
Installing WordPress triggers an external operation that provisions software, creates files, configures databases, and sets up a web application on a hosting account. This goes beyond a simple write — it executes a multi-step deployment process with broad side effects. Misuse could install WordPress on the wrong account or with insecure credentials, making it high severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wp_install 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 wp_install, this is the rule to start with:
wp_install stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 wp_install call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about wp_install
Install WordPress on a hosting account. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Hostinger MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Hostinger MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for wp_install: 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.
wp_install is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the wp_install 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 wp_install. 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.
wp_install 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.
