Get a list of snapshots for a connector within a given time range
AI agents call get_snapshot_range 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 is a read-only query operation that retrieves historical snapshot information within a specified time range. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The tool simply lists snapshots from a backup/data protection system, making it a Read category tool with low severity since it only exposes informational data about backup states without ability to alter systems or access sensitive information directly.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_snapshot_range' with description 'Get a list of snapshots for a connector within a given time range' indicates retrieval of existing snapshot metadata with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a list of snapshots for a connector within a given time range. 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_snapshot_range: 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_snapshot_range 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_snapshot_range 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_snapshot_range. 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_snapshot_range 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.
