List available production snapshots for a project. Snapshots are created automatically before each push to production and can be used to revert.
AI agents call list_snapshots to retrieve information from Localization without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
projectSlug | string | Yes | Project slug |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool only queries and retrieves metadata about existing snapshots. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. While snapshots support reversion capability, merely listing them is a read-only operation with minimal risk. The blast radius of an AI agent misusing this tool is negligible—it can only discover what snapshots exist, not invoke any state change.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_snapshots' and description states it 'List available production snapshots' — a pure retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List available production snapshots for a project. Snapshots are created automatically before each push to production and can be used to revert. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Localization MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_snapshots accepts 1 parameter: projectSlug. Required: projectSlug. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Localization MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_snapshots: 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 Localization. Nothing to install.
list_snapshots 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 list_snapshots 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 list_snapshots. 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.
list_snapshots is provided by the Localization MCP server (localization-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
