  • If the command type is not supported by the agent runtime environment, an error is returned.
  • The specified instance needs to be in a VPC network.

  • Only one type of instances (CVM or Lighthouse) can be specified in a single request.

A maximum of 20 requests can be initiated per second for this API.
