WHAT IT DOES

What set_server_boot_mode does on Timeweb

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`boot_mode`	string	Yes	ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНОЕ ПОЛЕ - тип загрузки: default (обычный), single (однопользовательский), recovery_disk (диск восстановления)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_server_boot_mode is rated Medium

An AI agent can call set_server_boot_mode faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Timeweb by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_server_boot_mode safely

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

set_server_boot_mode Rate-limited

set_server_boot_mode 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.
