# VPS_startRecoveryModeV1 Initiate recovery mode for a specified virtual machine. 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.

While not immediately destructive, recovery mode can be misused to access or modify systems inappropriately. From the tool's own 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." ## Use case 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. ## 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_startRecoveryModeV1": { "limits": [ { "counter": "vps_startrecoverymodev1_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Hostinger Api (257) -
