WHAT IT DOES

What delete_backup does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents call delete_backup to permanently remove resources in 1Panel MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_backup is rated Critical

Backups are critical for disaster recovery and data protection. Deletion of backups cannot be undone and eliminates the ability to restore systems or data in case of failure, corruption, or security incidents. This represents severe blast radius if invoked erroneously by an AI agent, as it destroys recovery mechanisms.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_backup' with description 'Delete backup' directly indicates irreversible deletion of backup data. The verb 'delete' is a hallmark destructive operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_backup safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 1Panel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_backup, this is the rule to start with:

delete_backup Hidden

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