What create_backup does on EasyBits
AI agents use create_backup to create or update resources in EasyBits, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your EasyBits environment.
Why create_backup is rated Medium
Creates backup data reversibly; medium severity due to microVM root access context.
From the tool's definition data backup creation; persistent microVMs with root access and internet.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_backup safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and EasyBits, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_backup, this is the rule to start with:
create_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 EasyBits, apply this rule, and every create_backup call is checked against it from then on.

Register the EasyBits MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_backup: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches EasyBits. Nothing to install.
create_backup is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_backup rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_backup. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
create_backup is provided by the EasyBits MCP server (@easybits.cloud/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
