What set_server_boot_mode does on Timeweb
AI agents invoke set_server_boot_mode to trigger actions in Timeweb. 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
boot_mode | string | Yes | ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНОЕ ПОЛЕ - тип загрузки: default (обычный), single (однопользовательский), recovery_disk (диск восстановления) |
server_id | number | Yes | ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНОЕ ПОЛЕ - ID сервера |

Why set_server_boot_mode is rated High
This tool changes the server's boot mode and triggers a server reboot. Rebooting a server is an external operation with significant operational impact (downtime, service interruption), placing it in the Execute category. The blast radius is high since misuse could put a production server into single-user or recovery mode, causing service outages.
From the tool's definition Меняет boot_mode сервера... Сервер перезагружается.

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 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Timeweb, apply this rule, and every set_server_boot_mode call is checked against it from then on.
