WHAT IT DOES

What VPS_createSnapshotV1 does on Hostinger Api

AI agents use VPS_createSnapshotV1 to create or update resources in Hostinger Api, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hostinger Api environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`virtualMachineId`	integer	Yes	Virtual Machine ID

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why VPS_createSnapshotV1 is rated Medium

The tool creates and stores data (a snapshot) which is a write operation. While it overwrites existing snapshots, the operation itself is reversible—snapshots are not permanently destroyed but replaced. The severity is high because misuse could overwrite critical backup snapshots, impacting disaster recovery capabilities, though the effect is not irreversible at the infrastructure level (the VM itself is unharmed).

From the tool's definition Tool creates a snapshot that 'captures the state and data of the virtual machine' and 'will overwrite the existing snapshot'. The description explicitly states it modifies system state for 'backup and recovery purposes'.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs VPS_createSnapshotV1 safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hostinger Api, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For VPS_createSnapshotV1, this is the rule to start with:

VPS_createSnapshotV1 Rate-limited

VPS_createSnapshotV1 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.

FAQ

Questions about VPS_createSnapshotV1

What does the VPS_createSnapshotV1 tool do? +

Create a snapshot of a specified virtual machine. A snapshot captures the state and data of the virtual machine at a specific point in time, allowing users to restore the virtual machine to that state if needed. This operation is useful for backup purposes, system recovery, and testing changes without affecting the current state of the virtual machine. Creating new snapshot will overwrite the existing snapshot! Use this endpoint to capture VPS state for backup and recovery purposes. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Hostinger Api MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does VPS_createSnapshotV1 accept? +

VPS_createSnapshotV1 accepts 1 parameter: virtualMachineId. Required: virtualMachineId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on VPS_createSnapshotV1? +

Register the Hostinger Api MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for VPS_createSnapshotV1: 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 Api. Nothing to install.

What risk level is VPS_createSnapshotV1? +
