WHAT IT DOES

What VPS_stopVirtualMachineV1 does on Hostinger Api

AI agents invoke VPS_stopVirtualMachineV1 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.

RISK

Why VPS_stopVirtualMachineV1 is rated High

This tool executes a command that changes the operational state of a running VPS instance. While not destructive (the VM can be restarted), it performs an irreversible operational action in the moment of invocation whose consequences depend on which VM is targeted. An agent misusing this could take down production infrastructure, causing service disruption.

From the tool's definition "Stop a specified virtual machine" and "power off running VPS instances" — directly triggers external operational effects on infrastructure.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs VPS_stopVirtualMachineV1 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_stopVirtualMachineV1, this is the rule to start with:

VPS_stopVirtualMachineV1 Rate-limited

VPS_stopVirtualMachineV1 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.
