List recent cPHulk failed login entries
AI agents call whm_cphulk_failed_logins 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 returns historical login failure data from cPHulk (cPanel's brute-force protection system). It performs a read-only lookup of existing audit/security logs. There is no data creation, modification, deletion, or execution of commands.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly indicate it 'List[s] recent cPHulk failed login entries' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or side effects.
