WHAT IT DOES

What take_mssql_snapshot does on 20i MCP Server

AI agents use take_mssql_snapshot to create or update resources in 20i MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 20i MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why take_mssql_snapshot is rated Medium

Taking a snapshot creates a new point-in-time copy of the database. This is a Write operation as it creates new data (the snapshot) without destroying the original. It is reversible in the sense that snapshots can be deleted, though misuse could consume significant storage resources.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

take_mssql_snapshot Rate-limited

take_mssql_snapshot 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.
