What VPS_stopVirtualMachineV1 does on Hostinger Api

Why VPS_stopVirtualMachineV1 is rated High
This tool executes a power state change on infrastructure, which is an irreversible operational action that disrupts service availability. Although the description clarifies this does not delete data, stopping a VM is a consequential Execute action (not Destructive because the VM and its data persist; not Write because it's not data modification).
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Stop a specified virtual machine' and 'power off running VPS instances' — this triggers an external operation (VM shutdown) whose effects depend on which VM is targeted.
