What rollback_machine does on EasyBits
AI agents invoke rollback_machine to trigger actions in EasyBits. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why rollback_machine is rated High
Triggers external system operations with wide-ranging effects; restarts infrastructure despite data preservation claims.
From the tool's definition download, extract and restart machine; effects depend on release argument
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rollback_machine 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 rollback_machine, this is the rule to start with:
rollback_machine stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 rollback_machine call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rollback_machine
Put a previous release back on the SAME machine: download, extract and restart. No build: a release published by launch_app ships its build. Use after a bad deploy. Data is untouched. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the EasyBits MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the EasyBits MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rollback_machine: 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.
rollback_machine is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rollback_machine 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 rollback_machine. 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.
rollback_machine 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.
