## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why list_snapshots is rated Low

This tool retrieves snapshot metadata or inventory from the system. Listing snapshots is purely informational—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any snapshots. Even in a server management context, the ability to list snapshots poses minimal risk as it only exposes information about existing backups without the ability to restore, delete, or corrupt them.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_snapshots' and description 'List system snapshots' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is a classic read operation that returns information without modifying state."

## Use case

AI agents call list_snapshots to retrieve information from 1Panel MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches 1Panel MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_snapshots": {}
  }
}
```
