civo_create_dns_recordAdd one record to a Civo-hosted domain.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "civo_create_dns_record" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Add one record to a Civo-hosted domain. Live DNS changes propagate to the world; undo by deleting the record in the Civo dashboard or CLI. Civo: POST /v2/dns/{domain_id}/records.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Add a DNS record
- destructiveHint: true
civo_create_firewall_ruleAdd one rule to a firewall — e.g.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "civo_create_firewall_rule" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Add one rule to a firewall — e.g. allow TCP 443 ingress from 0.0.0.0/0. This changes what is reachable on every instance, cluster and load balancer using the firewall, so prefer narrow CIDRs. Undo by deleting the rule in the Civo dashboard or CLI. Civo: POST /v2/firewalls/{id}/rules.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Add a firewall rule
- destructiveHint: true
civo_reboot_instanceReboot one instance.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Reboot one instance. `soft` (default) asks the OS to restart cleanly; `hard` cuts power and boots it again, like pulling the plug — use only when soft does not work. Causes brief downtime. Civo: POST /v2/instances/{id}/soft_reboots or /hard_reboots.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Reboot an instance
- destructiveHint: true
civo_set_instance_tagsREPLACE the full tag list of one instance (tags are used for filtering and by load-balancer instance pools, so changing them can move an instance in or out of a pool).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "civo_set_instance_tags" says "set": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
REPLACE the full tag list of one instance (tags are used for filtering and by load-balancer instance pools, so changing them can move an instance in or out of a pool). Pass the complete desired list; an empty list clears all tags. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/tags.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Set an instance's tags
- destructiveHint: true
civo_start_instanceBoot a stopped instance.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "civo_start_instance" says "start": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Boot a stopped instance. Undoes civo_stop_instance. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/start.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Start an instance
- destructiveHint: true
civo_stop_instancePower off one instance.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "civo_stop_instance" says "stop": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it
Power off one instance. Anything it serves goes offline until it is started again with civo_start_instance. A stopped instance is still billed. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/stop.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Stop an instance
- destructiveHint: true

6 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
