Restore an application from a backup. DESTRUCTIVE OPERATION - current app data will be replaced. Performs pre-flight validation to check backup exists and storage is sufficient. Returns task ID for async operation tracking via cloudron_task_status.
AI agents call cloudron_restore_app to permanently remove resources in Mcp Cloudron — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool explicitly warns it is a destructive operation that replaces current application data with backup data. This is irreversible — the existing app state is overwritten and cannot be recovered once the restore begins. The blast radius is critical because it affects an entire application's data and state on a production Cloudron instance.

Restore an application from a backup. DESTRUCTIVE OPERATION - current app data will be replaced. Performs pre-flight validation to check backup exists and storage is sufficient. Returns task ID for async operation tracking via cloudron_task_status. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Mcp Cloudron MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Mcp Cloudron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cloudron_restore_app: 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_restore_app 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 cloudron_restore_app 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 cloudron_restore_app. 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.
cloudron_restore_app is provided by the Mcp Cloudron MCP server (serenichron/mcp-cloudron). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
