WHAT IT DOES

What restore_backup does on 1Panel MCP Server

AI agents call restore_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 restore_backup is rated Critical

A backup restore operation replaces existing data, configurations, or system state with a prior snapshot. This is effectively irreversible because all changes made after the backup point are permanently lost upon restore. This qualifies as Destructive (irreversibly overwrites data), and given the server infrastructure scope (Docker, databases, websites), the blast radius of misuse is high.

From the tool's definition restore_backup — restoring a backup overwrites current system state, which is irreversible with respect to any data or configuration that existed after the backup point

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs restore_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 restore_backup, this is the rule to start with:

restore_backup Hidden

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