## Why database_get_backups is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about existing database backups. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves or lists data without side effects, triggering reversible changes, executing code, deleting data, or moving funds. The verb 'get' and 'list' are typical indicators of Read category operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'database_get_backups' and description 'List database backups' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data."

## Use case

AI agents call database_get_backups 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Aapanel:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "database_get_backups": {}
  }
