## Facts

- Tool: `list_snapshots`
- Server: 20i MCP Server (`cbrown35/20i-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/cbrown35-20i-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Cbrown35/20i-MCP
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_snapshots",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches 20i MCP Server:

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