What getBackupFileList does on Tplink Omada

Why getBackupFileList is rated Low
This tool performs a read-only query to enumerate backup files. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent listing backups cannot cause harm. Confidence is high because the description is clear and unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getBackupFileList' and description 'Get the list of available controller backup files' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing backup data without modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getBackupFileList safely

getBackupFileList is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tplink Omada, apply this rule, and every getBackupFileList call is checked against it from then on.
