HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-hostinger-hostinger-api-mcp/vps-sethostnamev1 ## Facts - Tool: `VPS_setHostnameV1` - Server: Hostinger Api (`hostinger-api-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-hostinger-hostinger-api-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y hostinger-api-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/hostinger/api-mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 2 (2 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `hostname` | string | yes | hostname parameter | | `virtualMachineId` | integer | yes | Virtual Machine ID | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "VPS_setHostnameV1", "arguments": { "hostname": "", "virtualMachineId": 0 } } } ``` ## 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 own 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." Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (hostname) ## Use case 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Hostinger Api: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "VPS_setHostnameV1": { "limits": [ { "counter": "vps_sethostnamev1_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Hostinger Api (257) -
