What snapshot_restore does on Uefn
AI agents call snapshot_restore to permanently remove resources in Uefn, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why snapshot_restore is rated Critical
Restoring a snapshot overwrites the current level state entirely, irreversibly discarding any changes made since the snapshot was taken. This is a destructive operation because the current unsaved state cannot be recovered after restoration.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs snapshot_restore safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Uefn, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For snapshot_restore, this is the rule to start with:
snapshot_restore is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Uefn, apply this rule, and every snapshot_restore call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about snapshot_restore
Restore the level to a previously saved snapshot state. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Uefn MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Uefn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for snapshot_restore: 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 Uefn. Nothing to install.
snapshot_restore is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the snapshot_restore 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 snapshot_restore. 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.
snapshot_restore is provided by the Uefn MCP server (quangdang46/uefn-verse-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
