What create_full_backup does on cPanel MCP Server
AI agents use create_full_backup to create or update resources in cPanel MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your cPanel MCP Server environment.
Why create_full_backup is rated Medium
While backups are often protective measures, the act of creating a backup is a Write operation because it creates new data and modifies the backup storage system state. It's not Read (doesn't just query), not Destructive (doesn't delete or overwrite), not Execute (doesn't run arbitrary code), and not Financial.
From the tool's definition "Create a full account backup" - creates a backup artifact that persists and modifies the backup storage state by adding a new backup file. This is a write operation that modifies the account's backup repository.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_full_backup safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and cPanel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_full_backup, this is the rule to start with:
create_full_backup 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect cPanel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_full_backup call is checked against it from then on.
