## 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 own definition: "'Stop a specified virtual machine' and 'power off running VPS instances' — directly triggers external operational effects on infrastructure."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
