What schedule_logical_backup does on Mcpg
AI agents invoke schedule_logical_backup to trigger actions in Mcpg. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why schedule_logical_backup is rated High
The tool name suggests it schedules a logical backup operation in PostgreSQL. Scheduling a backup is an external operation that triggers a potentially resource-intensive process on the database server. In the absence of a description, I classify it as Execute (triggering an external operation) rather than Write, since it initiates a system-level process. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'schedule_logical_backup' — description is empty and uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs schedule_logical_backup 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 schedule_logical_backup, this is the rule to start with:
schedule_logical_backup stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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 schedule_logical_backup call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about schedule_logical_backup
schedule_logical_backup is a execute tool on the Mcpg MCP server. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Mcpg MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Mcpg MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for schedule_logical_backup: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcpg. Nothing to install.
schedule_logical_backup is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the schedule_logical_backup rule in your PolicyLayer 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for schedule_logical_backup. 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.
schedule_logical_backup is provided by the Mcpg MCP server (pypi:mcpg). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
