WHAT IT DOES

What backup_list does on Aapanel

AI agents call backup_list to retrieve information from Aapanel without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why backup_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays existing backup information. It performs a query operation that has no impact on system state, data integrity, or operations. The read-only nature and limited scope of information exposure (backup metadata) result in low severity. The confidence is high because the name and description unambiguously indicate a listing/retrieval function.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'backup_list' and description 'List all backups' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs backup_list safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Aapanel, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For backup_list, this is the rule to start with:

backup_list Allowed

backup_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "backup_list": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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