## Why VPS_resetHostnameV1 is rated Medium

This tool modifies the hostname and PTR record of a VPS instance, which is a configuration change. While it resets to defaults (implying reversibility — you could set a custom hostname again), it does alter live server configuration. It falls under Write as it modifies data reversibly. The blast radius is medium since changing hostname/PTR can affect DNS resolution and server identity but is recoverable.

From the tool's own definition: "Reset hostname and PTR record of a specified virtual machine to default value"

## Use case

AI agents use VPS_resetHostnameV1 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.
