WHAT IT DOES

What site_backup does on Aapanel

AI agents use site_backup to create or update resources in Aapanel, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Aapanel environment.

RISK

Why site_backup is rated Medium

Backup creation falls under Write category—it creates new data (backup files) reversibly without destroying or permanently altering existing data. Severity is medium because misuse could create excessive storage consumption or resource exhaustion, but the operation itself is not destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'site_backup' and description 'Create a backup of a website' indicate data creation/export operation. Backup creation is a reversible write operation that generates new backup artifacts without modifying or deleting the original site data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs site_backup 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 site_backup, this is the rule to start with:

site_backup Rate-limited

site_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 Aapanel, apply this rule, and every site_backup call is checked against it from then on.
