Delete a scheduled backup configuration
AI agents call delete_database_backup to permanently remove resources in Coolify MCP Tools — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of database backups is a destructive action that cannot be undone. If an AI agent mistakenly deletes critical backups, data recovery options are severely compromised, creating significant operational risk. The high severity reflects the potential impact on disaster recovery capabilities and data protection strategies, though actual data loss depends on whether other backups exist elsewhere.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_database_backup' and description states 'Delete a scheduled backup configuration'. The verb 'delete' combined with 'backup' indicates irreversible removal of backup data or its scheduling configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a scheduled backup configuration. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Coolify MCP Tools MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_database_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 Coolify MCP Tools. Nothing to install.
delete_database_backup is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_database_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 delete_database_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.
delete_database_backup is provided by the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server (jplansink/coolify-mcp-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
