Get bandwidth usage stats for a specific cPanel account
AI agents call cpanel_bandwidth_usage to retrieve information from ItchWHMMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves bandwidth usage statistics without performing any side effects, modifications, or destructive operations. It is a read-only operation that gathers monitoring/observability data from a cPanel account. The blast radius of misuse is low—an attacker gaining access could view bandwidth metrics but cannot alter infrastructure, execute code, or cause financial harm through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cpanel_bandwidth_usage' and description 'Get bandwidth usage stats for a specific cPanel account' indicate data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get bandwidth usage stats for a specific cPanel account. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ItchWHMMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ItchWHM MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cpanel_bandwidth_usage: 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 ItchWHMMCP. Nothing to install.
cpanel_bandwidth_usage is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cpanel_bandwidth_usage 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for cpanel_bandwidth_usage. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
cpanel_bandwidth_usage is provided by the ItchWHM MCP server (manofsadness/itchwhmmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
