What check_pitr_readiness does on Mcpg
AI agents call check_pitr_readiness to retrieve information from Mcpg without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why check_pitr_readiness is rated Low
PITR readiness checks are diagnostic operations that verify backup and recovery configuration state without modifying data or executing external operations. This aligns with the Read category: retrieves or queries system state for informational purposes. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose operational metadata, not cause data loss or execution of arbitrary commands.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_pitr_readiness' suggests checking status of Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) configuration. The 'check' verb indicates a query or verification operation with no side effects. Description is empty, reducing confidence slightly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs check_pitr_readiness safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcpg, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For check_pitr_readiness, this is the rule to start with:
check_pitr_readiness is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcpg, apply this rule, and every check_pitr_readiness call is checked against it from then on.
