WHAT IT DOES

What list_snapshots does on 20i MCP Server

AI agents call list_snapshots to retrieve information from 20i MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_snapshots is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays snapshot metadata without performing any side effects. It enables viewing backup/snapshot information but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius if misused by an AI agent is minimal—an agent could only enumerate existing snapshots, not alter or restore them.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_snapshots' and description 'List available snapshots for web files or database' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_snapshots safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 20i MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_snapshots, this is the rule to start with:

list_snapshots Allowed

list_snapshots 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": {
    "list_snapshots": {}
  }
}

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 20i MCP Server, apply this rule, and every list_snapshots call is checked against it from then on.
