Medium Risk

restore_snapshot

Restore a workflow to a previous config snapshot. Use list_snapshots first to find the snapshot ID. This will revert the workflow's steps, context, name, description, goal, and style to the state captured in the snapshot.

Part of the Agentled MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@agentled/mcp-server Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use restore_snapshot to create or modify resources in Agentled. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call restore_snapshot repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Agentled.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the restore_snapshot tool do? +

Restore a workflow to a previous config snapshot. Use list_snapshots first to find the snapshot ID. This will revert the workflow's steps, context, name, description, goal, and style to the state captured in the snapshot.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Agentled MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on restore_snapshot? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for restore_snapshot. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Agentled MCP server.

What risk level is restore_snapshot? +

restore_snapshot is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit restore_snapshot? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the restore_snapshot rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block restore_snapshot completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for restore_snapshot. 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.

What MCP server provides restore_snapshot? +

restore_snapshot is provided by the Agentled MCP server (@agentled/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
