WHAT IT DOES

What reboot_bare_metal_server does on Vultr MCP

AI agents invoke reboot_bare_metal_server to trigger actions in Vultr MCP. 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 reboot_bare_metal_server is rated High

Rebooting a bare metal server triggers an external operation on physical infrastructure that causes service interruption. It is not destructive (no data loss) but it executes a real-world action with significant blast radius — any workloads running on that server will be disrupted. This falls squarely in Execute, and the high severity reflects the potential for downtime across all services hosted on that server.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs reboot_bare_metal_server safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Vultr MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For reboot_bare_metal_server, this is the rule to start with:

reboot_bare_metal_server Rate-limited

reboot_bare_metal_server 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.
