List all backups available on the Cloudron instance. Returns backup details including ID, timestamp, size, app count, and status. Backups are sorted by timestamp (newest first).
AI agents call cloudron_list_backups to retrieve information from Mcp Cloudron without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns backup metadata (ID, timestamp, size, app count, status) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that retrieves information from the system. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose backup metadata, not cause infrastructure changes or data loss.

Register the Mcp Cloudron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cloudron_list_backups: 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 Mcp Cloudron. Nothing to install.
cloudron_list_backups 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 cloudron_list_backups 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.
