Security

• Never commit your API token to version control
• Use read-only tokens when you only need to list/get resources
• Create and delete tools cost real money — Hetzner bills for provisioned resources
• The server handles rate limiting automatically (3,600 requests/hour, exponential backoff on 429)

Disclaimer

Create, update, and delete operations may incur charges on your Hetzner Cloud account. Use read-only API tokens when possible. The authors are not responsible for any costs incurred.
