WHAT IT DOES

What wifi_stop_hotspot does on Mcp Windows

AI agents invoke wifi_stop_hotspot to trigger actions in Mcp Windows. 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 wifi_stop_hotspot is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation (disabling a WiFi hotspot) whose effects depend on system state. It is not a read operation (no data retrieval), not a write operation (no data creation/modification), and not destructive (the action is reversible via wifi_start_hotspot or equivalent). It qualifies as Execute because it runs a system command with side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wifi_stop_hotspot' and description 'Stop the WiFi hotspot' indicate execution of a network state-change command with external system effects.

wifi_stop_hotspot Rate-limited

wifi_stop_hotspot 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.
