WHAT IT DOES

What VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 does on Hostinger Api

AI agents invoke VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 to trigger actions in Hostinger Api. 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`root_password`	string	Yes	Temporary root password for recovery mode
`virtualMachineId`	integer	Yes	Virtual Machine ID

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 is rated High

This tool triggers a state change on a VPS instance (booting into recovery mode, mounting disks), which is an execute-class operation. While not immediately destructive, recovery mode can be misused to access or modify systems inappropriately.

From the tool's definition 'Initiate recovery mode for a specified virtual machine' with effects of booting a recovery disk and mounting filesystems—these are external system operations with non-trivial side effects that depend on the target VM argument.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 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_startRecoveryModeV1, this is the rule to start with:

VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 Rate-limited

VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 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.

Recovery mode is a special state that allows users to perform system rescue operations, such as repairing file systems, recovering data, or troubleshooting issues that prevent the virtual machine from booting normally. Virtual machine will boot recovery disk image and original disk image will be mounted in /mnt directory. Use this endpoint to enable system rescue operations on VPS instances. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Hostinger Api MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 accept? +

VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 accepts 2 parameters: root_password, virtualMachineId. Required: root_password, virtualMachineId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on VPS_startRecoveryModeV1? +

Register the Hostinger Api MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for VPS_startRecoveryModeV1: 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_startRecoveryModeV1? +

VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit VPS_startRecoveryModeV1? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 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.

How do I block VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 completely? +
