WHAT IT DOES

What delete_snapshot does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents call delete_snapshot 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_snapshot is rated Critical

Deleting a system snapshot is a destructive action that cannot be undone. Snapshots are typically used for recovery and backup purposes; their deletion removes a recovery point and cannot be reversed. This poses a high blast radius if an AI agent deletes critical snapshots needed for system restoration or disaster recovery, potentially causing data loss or extended downtime.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_snapshot' combined with description 'Delete system snapshot' indicates irreversible deletion of a snapshot artifact. The verb 'delete' is explicit and unambiguous.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

delete_snapshot Hidden

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