WHAT IT DOES

What VPS_setHostnameV1 does on Hostinger Api

AI agents use VPS_setHostnameV1 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
`hostname`	string	Yes	hostname parameter
`virtualMachineId`	integer	Yes	Virtual Machine ID

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why VPS_setHostnameV1 is rated Medium

This tool modifies VPS configuration by setting a hostname, which is a Write operation (creates or modifies data reversibly). While hostname changes can affect network behavior and services relying on hostname resolution, the change itself is reversible and does not cause data loss or financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'VPS_setHostnameV1' and description 'Set hostname for a specified virtual machine' indicate a modification operation. The description explicitly states this configures custom hostnames, which is a reversible change to VPS configuration.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs VPS_setHostnameV1 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_setHostnameV1, this is the rule to start with:

VPS_setHostnameV1 Rate-limited

VPS_setHostnameV1 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.

Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does VPS_setHostnameV1 accept? +

VPS_setHostnameV1 accepts 2 parameters: hostname, virtualMachineId. Required: hostname, virtualMachineId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on VPS_setHostnameV1? +
