Get the timestamp of the most recent completed snapshot for a connector
AI agents call get_latest_snapshot to retrieve information from Keepit MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about backup snapshots—specifically the timestamp of the most recent completed snapshot. It is a passive query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes snapshot metadata timestamps.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_latest_snapshot' with description 'Get the timestamp of the most recent completed snapshot for a connector' indicates retrieval of metadata about an existing snapshot.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the timestamp of the most recent completed snapshot for a connector. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Keepit MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Keepit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_latest_snapshot: 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 Keepit MCP. Nothing to install.
get_latest_snapshot is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_latest_snapshot 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 get_latest_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.
get_latest_snapshot is provided by the Keepit MCP server (keepit-official/keepit-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
