WHAT IT DOES

What cloud_backup does on Yaver

AI agents invoke cloud_backup to trigger actions in Yaver. 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.

RISK

Why cloud_backup is rated High

Triggering a backup is an executable action that initiates a process with external side effects (cloud storage operations), but it is not destructive (backup is reversible and non-destructive), financial, nor merely a read operation. The medium severity reflects that misuse could waste resources or trigger unintended backup cycles, but the impact is contained and not data-destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cloud_backup' combined with description 'Trigger a manual cloud backup' indicates it executes a backup operation on external cloud infrastructure.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs cloud_backup safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Yaver, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cloud_backup, this is the rule to start with:

cloud_backup Rate-limited

cloud_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.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cloud_backup": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "cloud_backup_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Yaver, apply this rule, and every cloud_backup call is checked against it from then on.
