suspend_site · Ploi MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What suspend_site does on Ploi MCP Server

AI agents use suspend_site to create or update resources in Ploi MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ploi MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why suspend_site needs a policy

Suspending a site is a reversible action (sites can be unsuspended/resumed), but it causes the site to become inaccessible to users. This makes it a Write operation with high severity due to the service disruption impact if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition 'Suspend a site' — suspending a site takes it offline/makes it inaccessible, which is a significant state change

Verdict

suspend_site Rate-limited

suspend_site stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
