WHAT IT DOES

What disable_two_factor does on Linode MCP Server

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

RISK

Why disable_two_factor is rated Medium

Disabling two-factor authentication is a reversible account configuration change (can be re-enabled), not permanent deletion, making it Write rather than Destructive. However, it significantly weakens account security and could enable unauthorized access if misused by an AI agent. The high severity reflects the security risk to the account, even though the action itself is not irreversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'disable_two_factor' and description states it 'Disable two-factor authentication for your account'. This modifies account security settings by removing an authentication mechanism.

disable_two_factor Rate-limited

disable_two_factor 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.
