WHAT IT DOES

What restore_snapshot does on 20i MCP Server

AI agents call restore_snapshot to permanently remove resources in 20i MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why restore_snapshot is rated Critical

Restoring a snapshot is a destructive operation because it irreversibly overwrites the current state of the hosting environment (files, databases, email, configurations) with a previous snapshot. Any data created or modified after the snapshot point is permanently lost. The 'precise control' wording suggests it operates on live hosting infrastructure, amplifying the blast radius to critical if misused.

From the tool's definition 'restore_snapshot' - restoring from a snapshot overwrites current data irreversibly, replacing existing files, databases, and configurations with the snapshot state

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

restore_snapshot Hidden

restore_snapshot is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

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