How to control resume_backup_policy ↓

AI agents use resume_backup_policy to create or update resources in Mcp Oceanbase — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Oceanbase environment.

Medium Risk

With no description available, classification is based solely on the tool name. 'Resume' typically implies a Write operation — re-enabling or modifying the state of a backup policy. This is likely reversible (it can be paused again), so it falls under Write rather than Execute or Destructive. Confidence is low due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resume_backup_policy' and empty description. The word 'resume' implies reactivating/enabling a previously paused backup policy.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access resume_backup_policy gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Oceanbase, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for resume_backup_policy:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "resume_backup_policy": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "resume_backup_policy_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

resume_backup_policy stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Oceanbase — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
